## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this come with a power cord for a regular house power outlet?**
A: Yes, the radio comes with a 9volt transformer on a 6 foot cord which plugs into a regular 120V outlet or power strip. Great radio. I'm sure you will enjoy it if you choose to purchase one.  Walt

**Q: is this an HD radio**
A: It is not an HD radio which receives additional audio and data signals.  This radio has an RDS function which receives only the data signal containing information about time, station identification and program information.

**Q: Is the clock visible in the dark, i.e. is it back-lit?  I am looking for something to use as a clock radio, but with decent sound.**
A: The display shows the station tuned in (and the memory number, if you've saved it) but the time only shows when you push a button. There is a backlight but it only stays on for fifteen seconds or so after you push the button, not so good if you're wanting to see the time, say from a nightstand.

**Q: Sorry I'm not real literate on portable radios, I am looking for a good AM/FM HD 2 radio. Is the Sangean PR-D5  HD 2 compatible?**
A: Although this radio displays RDS text, it is not HD capable. Some might confuse RDS with HD. Yes, HD can communicate textual information as well as additional audio streams. RDS is an earlier technology used to communicate textual information. At this writing (fall 2013), the circuitry needed to decode HD consumes a lot of power. That's why you don't see too many HD radios that run on batteries (except for the ones in automobiles!).
