Differences Between Job-site Radio PB360D and PB360S That You Should Know

I recently bought a Bosch PB360D Power box as a Christmas gift for my dad. This model is similar to PB360S which is the standard version. As I was asked many times the differences between these two models, I decided to write this article to discuss the differences. As a start the notation "D" represents the deluxe version of this well known job-site radio from Bosch.

However, before discussing the differences, I like to state that there are many similarities between the two models. As an example, both are built to be heavy duty job-site radio that can withstand the rough working site conditions and still provide a powerful 360 degree clear sound.

However there are differences between the two models which are not obvious and these differences are discussed below.

The most obvious difference is the control panel. In the PB360D, it has a backlit control panel while PB360S has a normal control panel without any backlit. The backlit has a light bluish tone enabling the display details to be seen in low light condition.

The next difference is the deluxe version has a built in extra SIRIUS Satellite Dock. Thus one can plug in or dock one's satellite radio and enjoy satellite radio broadcasting in addition to the built in FM and AM radio.

Then there are the differences on the types of power outlets. The PB360D and PB360S besides being job-site radios are also power boxes. That is one can plug in one's power tools to the power outlet and runs from there. The power outlet found in PB360D is GFCi types while those in PB360S are the normal ones. The term GFCi stands for ground fault circuit interrupter which is a safety device. However there are no problems powering Bosch power tools with the power outlets of both models.

The final difference between the two models is the availability of a remote control. The deluxe version comes with a remote why the standard version has none. Well having or not having a remote is not a big deal. In my opinion, the remote may be easily lost in work sites as it is easily taken away.

These are the main differences between the two models and as such there is a difference in price too. The model PB360S costs about $180 while the deluxe model PB360D costs $100 dollars more. Both models are available and can be ordered online through online stores like Amazon.com.
