Saw a fairly good blowout price on a tabletop Accurion, had only
recently heard of them, seems fairly decent quality, good fit-'n-finish,

AMBCB was somewhat of a disappointment as there are only two stations I
could get here in SoCal with the inferior low-gain supplied indoor loop,
KNX 1070 and KOGO 600 and they both only showed their call sign and no
program info, KNX did say it was in Los Angeles.

- The FMBCB on the other hand was a pleasant

- 89.5, offering two. I know there's been lots of talk

The 'future' of HD-Radio is FM HD-Radio and
those new "HD-2" Channels -aka- Over-the-Air
