    Re: radio reception

    Mine has bad reception when the antenna is down, but today something broke and my antenna does not go up or down, so it's manual for now. I listen to the radio/mp3 player(in my AUX input), cd player. I use it often. There is a radio station that plays good music so thats why i listen to the radio.

    HD radio is digital radio. it is FREE and there are decks out there that have build in tuners.
    I know JVC and Panasonic make them with build in HD tuner.


    Satellite radio is junk. you get a lot of commercials on those channels.
