Insignia Portable HD Radio Review

Insignia Portable HD Radio

This radio makes listening to FM great again.
HD significantly improves:
- Greater dynamic range (no audible compression)
- Greater stereo separation
- Multipath interference disappears -- HD rides-through conventional FM 'flutter'
I use this as a passenger on a multi-hour daily commute in the Colorado Front Range, where there are about 12 commercial and 3 non-commercial stations broadcasting HD.
The battery lasts about 8 hours, re-charged by USB. There is no way to open the case to replace the battery.
Sensitivity is amazing with the headphone cord antenna. On travel in Rock Hill, SC, I received distant stations from North Wilkesboro and Raleigh.
However, it DOES NOT give satisfactory reception through the Aux-In system jacks of 3 cars that I tried.
Some features not indicated in the manual:
It also receives RDS (giving basic id only). Some stations do broadcast both HD and RDS. When a signal is weak, only RDS will be decoded.
When the indicator shows HD1+ or HD2+, that simply means there is another 1 (or 2) more HD program(s) "above" the current one.
Wished-for improvements:
0.1 MHz tuning resolution, for use outside North America.
Better local strong-signal rejection.
Drilled hole or ring in case for a cloth strap
