"Useful for talk radio"
3.5 starson by brimstone33Pros: Long battery life
Good display
Good sound quality
Standard USB charge cableCons: Sketchy reception
Faceplate scratches easily
No MP3/ no FM recordSummary: Received this as swag for a a public radio donation. Both NPR stations in my city now have HD2 stations and this radio really enhances my listening choices for NPR. For me doubling the number of commercial hiphop/country/rock stations available is not useful, and the sound quality is not that much better to my ear. But it shines for "thinking" radio where every broadcast is unique. The receiver works well in the AUX port of my Cambridge Soundworks CD 740 analog tabletop radio, in the AUX port of my wife's car and through an FM transmitter in my own car. It can play and charge simultaneously. Reception cuts out more frequently than I would like and seems somewhat weather dependant.
