Re: [all-audio] accessible portable HD Radio

2020-08-24 Thread Dane Trethowan
A couple of notes on HD Radio and these come from discussions with friends of 
mine who use HD Radio and are not from first-hand experience since we don’t use 
that system out here in Australia.
I am told that there are no AM HD signals broadcasting now in Southern 
California and that’s a huge shame so the only HD option available to listeners 
now is through FM, what an utter and complete waste of money and time on behalf 
of radio stations and authorities.
An interesting note, this topic was one of the last discussed when I was 
actively on the list what.. 9 months ago? The more things change the more they 
stay the same .

The Marc 3 and the Sangean HDr14 and the HDR-16 radios can be found on 
amazon.com. The radios are battery opporated and come with power adapters too! 
The Marc 3 costs about $50.00, and the Sangean radios are around $100.00 or so!

Hi,
I thought everyone in the United States at least had pretty much moved to 
Online radio but someone I need to buy a gift for has her heart set on an HD or 
super duper whammer jammer radio of some sort. As long as it is portable as in 
battery operated and gets A M and FM and maybe has a few other bells and 
whistles like HD or I don't care what else as long as it is accessible for a 
totally blind individual.  I also don't mind paying for quality which is why 
I'm asking on this list as usually good quality items are only discussed on 
this group.
Thanks in advance.
Merv

Re: [all-audio] accessible portable HD Radio

2020-08-24 Thread Tom Kaufman
MERV:  The radio I have is the Sangean PRD-17.  This radio is an AM/FM
portable radio that a blind/visually impaired person can operate very
successfully.  Note:  this radio DOES NOT have HD!  So if the person you are
going to get a radio for wants a radio with HD capabilities, then you won't
want this one!  But it's not a bad radio; a blind person can access just
about all of the functions that a sighted person would access!  I don't know
what these radios sell for now; would depend on where you get it from!
Hopefully this has been helpful!
