"HD Radio Effort Undermined by Weak Tuners in Expensive Radios"

Eduardo - all three HD radios failed miserably. Nothing like first
impressions for consumers - no wonder, with repetitive HD programming
(even HD-1 is just a digital copy of the main analog channel -
whoopie) and lousy reception with expensive HD radios, this turkey
will never takeoff !

I have the Recepter. *It needs a proper antenna but works very well on
FM. *The AM sucks.

It is not a particularly good radio... too bad, because the non-HD version
is a pretty good AM radio.

Looks like your friend Mark Ramsey had a few thoughts on this article:

"Are HD radios made with crappy tuners?"

Notable quote:

"Is this true more generally? Or is this just a function of one
isolated New Jersey address? Radio, after all, always has reception
trouble somewhere, no matter where you live. But a new radio with new
technology certainly shouldn't work worse than your old equipment at
the same address. Is HD radio being stabbed in the back by the very
manufacturers who make the equipment?"

A sure road to failure - yea !
