I still wnat to mount this to the roof of my Prius AMPLIFIED VHF UHF FM HAM RADIO HDTV HD ROTOR TV ANTENNA - eBay (item 180415142380 end time Oct-04-09 07:30:07 PDT).... You can rotate it remotely to pull in signals, and I think it will look cool... It's a very nice idea - funny there aren't more aftermarket boxes out there... Ebay shows little in that regard... | |

Anyway the unit is a pocket carry around thing. Comes with a armband holder. I just reall wanted the HD Audio...I pretty much know the names of the tunes I am fond of!! There is a front panel display that displays the info, but I don't need another visual distraction!! Only having had the thing for 6 hours, the reception is terrific, however I am sure this will be updated when reality sets in!! The sound is great!!! OK UPDATE TIME.. just got finished with a 20 minute drive around listening to KLOS-FM, JACK-FM and KROQ-FM. WHAT EXCELLENT SOUND! I kept the unit in the center console, cranked it up, for what I paid, I LOVE it. Nice thing is, I can take it with me, and use the headphones!!! A nice inexpensive venture in to HD Radio Last edited by KK6PD; 10-04-2009 at 12:36 AM. | |

Not sure about the interface (you may as well have an iPod, and scroll through it while driving)...... Great concept!!! I'm sure the sound is as good as CD..... | |

Friends: 12 | Re: Hd FM 4 $50 Zune HD has the radio tuner for HD too. It works well. My local NPR channel doesn't have HD content for all their stories. I can see the Zune switch between FM and HD automatically to provide that high quality when available. By the way, the playback (in 16:9, of course) looks pretty sweet on that OLED screen. . |

Friends: 3 | Re: Hd FM 4 $50 I've considered adding HD, but this is a portable unit, right? Has anyone added a more permanent tuner, like this ?It's $50 as well. But then I suppose it'd become thief bait, as an easily-removed add-on. OTOH, my Scangauge II hasn't disappeared yet, and it's been in plain view for over a year.
