I went through too much hassle getting it, the first one was stolen off my 
back steps, I expected to come home from college and hook up and play with a 
new radio and instead I had to put in an insurance claim with UPS, luckily 
HRO was nice and sent out a new one before UPS got done with the paperwork, 
but after all that, I'm here when UPS comes always and I'm not getting rid 
of that radio any time soon. It's a very good radio, I ran the thing daily 
and it never once complained.
