Nice little radio. Gets HD FM only. I do enjoy the HD stations that are made listenable by this device. There's nothng to compare it to.at $50 so if you want to listen to HD-FM on the run this is the only way. To be perfect it would need an external antenna wire for better reception when headphones are not plugged in, an AUX OUT for quality connection to a home or auto audio system, larger but fewer buttons with more legible icons, and AM HD capability. I am amazed that so many stations bother to put out an HD signal when there are so few receivers. Why are the stations not promoting receivers? Why doesn't every radio sold today have HD capability? In the early days of FM the stations put their logos on radios and sold them at discounts. Some gave away radios with tuners fixed to their station. Where's the marketing? I want HD to survive and flourish.
What's great about it: Portablility, size, color display.
What's not so great: Reception in car comes and goes.
