The prices have dropped quite a bit for that radio. A year ago they were
about $300. Now you can get one of their models for $120 on
amazon.com. The bad review for the HD radio I'm thinking of buying said
that you couldn't get HD on AM at night. Of course there is a reason for
that. The FCC won't let the stations run their IBOC's at night yet on
AM. Do all of them have earphone jacks?
