Summary: Good little traveling companion
Review: Hi folks , Vince the radioman with another review for you . I've been a buff for many years and have a large collection . I love to do side by sides . This is a pretty decent radio for the money . It is analog , but the tuner selectivity and sensativity are surprisingly good . It has a digital clock and alarm specially designed for the traveller ( ...separate world time and EZ time zone adjustments). Its good on battery life( 3 AA ) and is lightweight .It has FM stereo and a DC adaptor jack . The sound is ok through the built in speaker and not bad through the phones . It is far better than the Sony SW12 , which is overpriced , the controls are too small ,there is only and ear phone jack no FM stereo and no DC jack. Sangean did not fall into this trap .....it has all the bells and whistles needed when traveling .The PT633 covers most SW bands with an emphysis on listening to the big broadcasters . This radio is about half the price of the SW12 ....no comparison , this is the little traveler you want with you on those long trips. Buy it!
