Despite Ibiquity choosing to name next generation terrestrial radio
after the ever so popular HDTV, it hasn't been widely accepted yet.
The initial cost of HD radio tuners has been a big reason and
Radiosophy is hoping to change that at NAB, by introducing the first
$99 HD Radio, which makes it half as much as the next cheapest model.
Like most radios today, it has a few more tricks: it's an alarm clock,
has an external antenna connection, as well as the latest must have
for any device with speakers, a line input for your MP3 player.
According to the release you have to act now to get the $99 price, as
those who wait until after July 30th will have to pay $119.99.


Questions - is it stereo or other multichannel?

Does it have an aux output for plug-in to a hi-fi system?
