Default RHF - another smart buying decision !

"Listening to my 'wonderful' Radiosophy "HD100" Radio to good-old-
analog AM & FM Radio; because I live out side the 10mv/m Contour in a
Rural Area where I don't count in dEduardo's Body Count of 'qualified'
Radio Listeners. ~ RHF"

"Review: Radi-osophy HD100 - HD Sounds, But At What Cost?"

Remember those crappy $15 AM/FM/cassette radios from the 80s? The
HD100 looks just like one and has the sound to match. Basically a
glorified clock radio, it has a chintzy, careless interface with
speakers that spew a tinny unrefined sound. And while carefully tuning
the HD stations results in an audible improvement over analog
alternatives, the overall quality is still poor - even for a $100
device. Frankly we'd be happier keeping our money and sitting in
silence. -Roger Thomasson

WIRED One of the cheapest HD devices available. Auxiliary input. Sleep
mode provides adjustable auto-off. Backlit display.

TIRED Sound quality well below average with virtually no bass. Cheap
plastic case and buttons. Inconspicuous snooze button makes it easy to
ignore and snore. No EQ. Menu navigation is painful. Behemoth external
power brick. No battery compartment.
