"it's early in the HD game, but this sets the bar rather high"
Pros: Surprising sound for the size; simple to use
Cons: HD radio broadcasting still in its infancy; trying to pull in HD that isn't HD
Summary: Remember the early DVD players? Prices came down.
That being said, anyone who thinks this is only worth $60 obviously missed seeing the Recepter non-HD that sells for $150.
HD, where available, is downright amazing. And where HD-2 st... read more >> -

Summary: When my old GE Superadio III intermitantly worked, I decided to take the HD plunge, and got this HD radio.
First thing I liked was the size, small. Non-intrusive, and would sit easilly on my workstation at work. Another plus for the work envio... read more >> -

"Decent sound but poor reception even in analog mode"
Pros: Boston Acoustic speakers; HD radio tuner included
Cons: Reception is very subpar
Summary: Even though I bought this radio on clearance at Radio Shack for 50% off ($150), I'm still considering returning it. I live about 17 miles from Washington, DC and 25 miles from Batimore on the top floor of a four story buiding, and I had immense pro... read more >>
