Affordable Radio Just Like The DTV Converter Boxes

I got mine and setup was very easy to do. I plugged in the digital radio into my computer to charge it up, then I wanted to try it out. It was great sounding. To prove it, the local station sounds CD quality. I tried the digital radio on my stereo system, it sounded much better than just the included earphones. So this I would recommend this radio for people who have boomboxes. and stereo systems. Now for being a the first HD walk man today, it passes. But there is one problem, not all HD radio stations under the test last night did not come in, and if they did, the conditions, and less obstructions such as computers, and being close to the wireless internet router could reduce signal quality, why? I was able to get most of the stations in HD in the living room than my bedroom where the Wifi router was located. Also the stations have to be very strong just like you are getting an radio data system signal and stereo signal. Now for outside, this radio is highly recommended for portable use, but before you go out, make you charge it up and go jogging or errands.
What's great about it: Picks up HD radio stations and distant FM stations.
What's not so great: Not all HD radio stations come in. Audio drops out while moving around.
