Overall, it's an improvement over current FM radios b/c it has "HD" capability. It's about time. There are many stations broadcast HD. However, there just isn't a lot of radios that have HD receive capability built in.
Listened to a station in Los Angeles, KUSC @ 91.5 with only "one" bar on the signal meter. That's amazing b/c the transmitter is 98 miles away using the builtin whip antenna! Not full quieting but pretty impressive.
However, the volume is low even at full setting so it is best used inside where ambient noise is at a minimum. Outside it is almost useless.
