Tom, I bought a Sony HD AM FM radio when they first came out.  Here, near 
San Francisco, there are afew FM HD stations and just a couple AM ones.  I 
haven't really checked it out that much recently.  When I first got the 
radio I tried to listen to KNX, a strong LA HD AM station at night using one 
of those tunable loop antennas and even a kind of long wire.  Seems like you 
really have to have a strong signal to get the HD signal to work.  I 
remember one of our cars had AM stereo which was not much good, but on a 
trip to BC one year, I could pick up some AM stereo from long distances and, 
depending on the signal, the stereo would come and go.  I think HD takes a 
much more robust signal than stereo did.  Also think that HD hasn't really 
caught on that much or as much as the purveyers of it have hoped it would.

Thanks for the link, Steve.

I read the review, and found it very interesting.  In fact, I've saved the
review here for future reference.

If I find myself to have a few extra bucks, someday, I may just buy one,
although in my area of semi-rural central lower Michigan, HD radio has not
yet fully arrived.

Would be interesting though to see what I could pick up in the way of HD fm
here from larger cities in my region, or HD am at night during the winter DX
season.

Make sure you get the whole link on one line, it ends with .mp3.
