ctlu008 from MO Member Since: Jun 2003 View Member's: Reviews	Great Tuner Strengths: Reception is excellent and clear. FM sounds like CD. Weaknesses: Backlight stays on even when in standby mode. No battery backup for extended periods of electrical outages. Summary: I bought a new receiver recently that was 1/3rd the price of the model that had HD radio support. Saw this HD Radio Tuner that could be added on to the receiver and thought I'd give it a try. Compared with the new receiver, this tuner brings in stations without the static and the sound quality is much improved. HD radio is worth it just for the quality improvement but there is also the LCD that displays current song information. Comes in handy if you don't know what you are listening to. 100% of People (4/4) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

valmik from NY Member Since: Jun 2001 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Week	Great radio! Strengths: excellent sound quality Weaknesses: can't turn off the backlight completely (but can dim it - minor problem) Summary: I bought this product to get HD radio functionality. This unit performs very nicely! I hadn't realized that some of the stations I listen to actually have three distinct broadcasts of which I only received one via regular radio. One of the stations had intermittent sound quality for no apparent reason (didn't relate to signal strength). Sounded crystal clear/nice one minute, and then all of a sudden the sound was completely flat (but still clear). Since I've only seen this with one station, I think the problem lies with the transmission. The backlight problem is very minor - you can adjust the brightness, but can't turn it off. 100% of People (2/2) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?

kc7iek Member Since: Jun 2007 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 10 Days	XDR-F1HD HD Radio Receiver. Strengths: Excellent sound quality. FM stations sound like CD Weaknesses: Minor - this is a tuner not a radio so it must be connected to speakers Summary: Small size and excellent sound quality make this an excellent choice. 20 station presets give you lots of choice & the LCD display is bright & clear easy to read. This is a great product for the price, unless you need a self contained radio I highly recommend 70% of People (7/10) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you?
