Smallest HD Player Available

This is a great portable option for HD Radio. First off, out of the box it is easy to charge, but everyone should read the manual to understand the slightly convoluted programming information (for presets, etc). Now, with radio, all anyone can do is review it for their particular market. I live in Tucson, so the reception I receive is pleasing overall, with only a few stations unavailable in certain parts of town. The player does a very good job using the wires from the headphones as an antenna, but in situations where a solid HD signal is unavailable, it will resort to normal fm quality which is obvious and confusing due to the fact that the HD symbol remains but in the lower right corner a "plus" is displayed. Also, it has 10 presets, but this is misleading. If you attempt to program the dash 2 or dash 3 signal, they will not save. In other words, 92.9 will save only, and you have to push menu then the up button to get to the 92.9-2 station. I know, Confusing! Also, the internal battery is neat, but I would prefer a AAA because I do not believe this battery is replaceable. I have connected it to a receiver and it sounds very good when turned to at least 13 (out of 15). With highly efficient headphones, a volume level of 8 or so is pleasing. Overall it will work assuming that your particular market is broadcasting at 100% in HD. You get what you pay for, and in this unit you get a lot!
What's great about it: Size, portability, ability to deliver HD Radio effectively
What's not so great: Presets confusing, automatic downgrade to normal FM with poor reception a downer
I would recommend this to a friend!
