Hello all,
My apologies for chiming in so late on this thread, but I've been on
vacation and thus I'm very behind on emails!!
What are the advantages of having an HD radio?
I will admit that I'm using my Amazon devices and Homepod to stream music
and podcasts.
If someone can explain how HD differs from the traditional radio, I may
consider purchasing one of the Sangean models.
Thanks!!
