Great HD Portable Radio
on November 23, 2010
Posted by: qa1433
from Dallas, TX.
I got this cheaper model the day before the newer Insignia™ HD Radio Portable Player was stocked at my local Best Buy store. I live in the far northern Burb's of Dallas, Texas, 45 miles away from the FM antenna farm located in Ceder Hill Texas. Over the 40 years I have owned many portable radios. This little gem has the best FM receiver I have ever came across in the portable Walkman type radios. In my home I receive all 41 HD broadcasts out of Dallas. When conditions are right I receive 1 Cameron University HD channel from Wichita Falls, TX. That is some 90 miles away from home. I took this little radio on a trip to Marion Indiana and was surprised to receive HD stations from both Indianapolis and Fort Wayne. Indianapolis is 65 miles away from Marion Indiana. The 3 HD stations that were received from Indianapolis were loud and clear with little dropout when the radio was moved around the house or when I went for a neighborhood walk. The Fort Wayne HD stations (50 miles away) stayed on while walking with out measurable dropout. I am very impressed with this radio. I did notice that only one station in Indianapolis (Q95) had the sound quality of most of the HD stations here in Dallas. The other HD2 channels sounded like analog FM. That brings me to Dallas again. Notably I found four HD 2 channels and one HD3 channel I really like to listen to. 50s & 60s Oldies on KLUV, Smooth Jazz on the Oasis, the Indie channel and The Strip HD 2 channels. This makes this $40 investment good one. It sounds great through my Bang & Olufsen hooked to the Bose Surround Sound Speakers. The only bad thing I have to say about this little radio concerns the battery and battery life. It never shows a full charge even if it is plugged in for 10 hours. It does not receive AM HD stations. Other then that It is a great value and has provided a lot of enjoyment into my wife and my life. I would recommend this radio to anyone who wants to get into HD radio cheaply.
What's great about it: The reception of HD Channels here in the Dallas Metro
What's not so great: Battery life & it It never shows a full battery charge. No AM-HD reciever.
I would recommend this to a friend!
