I really wanted to like this radio. I received it as a gift from my wife to use on my 30-minute commute to and from work to listen to NPR. It was unbearable. The NPR HD channel could cut out as many as 12-15 times in 20 minutes, each time the interruption could last for seconds to minutes. I can't really blame the terrain, I'd be on the highway, cruising along a flat stretch, and suddenly the radio would cut out. It just didn't work well enough to rely on. I am disappointed. I really wanted this radio to work.
What's great about it: Small, easy to use, has a rechargable battery
What's not so great: Lousy reception, channels cut out often and for extended periods of time
