Eduardo – have you ever seen a Sony FM/AM Walkman model SRF-59?

This little Sony can be bought for less that $15, has super
performance in both AM and FM modes, has excellent audio and
sensitivity and works for days on a single AA battery. And, if you
loose it or it gets stolen you’re out nothing. You just buy another
one

Now, that’s cool.

Now tell me again about how neat "HD" radio is?

JW -

I have the excellent $10 Sony ICF-S10MK2 pocket-radio, that will go
about 200 hours on two AA batteries. The new HD chipsets have a
battery life of 2 hours, and comes with iBiquity's HD chipset fees!


I've got a pair of Toshiba portable FM-only pocket sets. About twice
the size of a postage stamp. Run on single AAA's. Excellent stereo
reception into a pair of Sennheiser phones.

Then, again, I've also got a Delphi MYFI XM that will go several
hours on a lithium battery.

No iBiquity crap, there, either.
