The radio has good reception, and seems reliable, BUT, every control on it is so counterintuitive, I got the impression that the engineers goal was to make this unit hard to use. The screen doesn't show you how many HD channels a station is broadcasting: By tuning up for example, you might get HD2 of the current station, or you might get the next higher frequency station. The volume control looks like a knob, but is actually a cheap up down switch. Holding the volume + will not continue to raise the volume. To raise it a lot, you have to press +, wait 1 second, let go, press + wait 1 second, let go, (repeat as necessary). There seems to be a 1 second delay in just about every function actually. To turn it off, you have to press the power button 3 times!!!! Once to get the screen to turn on,Another time to display the station you are listening to, and then a 3rd time and hold for 2 seconds, just to TURN IT OFF!!?? The preset function starts over at P1 everytime, so you cant jump from P4 to P5 with one press.
What's great about it: I paid $28
What's not so great: It's worth $19
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
