[Electronics-Talk] For what it’s worth, HD Radio

[James Aldrich]

Hi again all,

I think the HD radios I mentioned are more sensitive than the talking radio.  The talking radio requires six C Batteries where the HDR16 takes 4 C batteries.  

Do a search on youtube for the HDR14 or the HDR16 and you can watch the videos.

It is a nice radio -- I have one, but you are right -- no HD.

I'm very tempted to get this radio, but I don't think it has HD. That would be a great feature to have.

I found these radios at Amazon.  I searched for Sangean HDR14 radio, and there it was, with the others as suggestions.
I bought the talking Sangean radio last year, and I'm very happy with it.

Hello,
 Where can you order these radios from?  Also do you have link to audio about the radios?

Thanks,

Hi all,

I haven’t posted in a while!

I recently purchased two new hd radios from Sangean!  These are not talking radios but they are high performance radios and they are simple to operate!  They look and feel like traditional radios since the AM loop is inside the radio and a telescopic whip is used for FM.  Both radios have been available for a while but they are still current!



The first is the Sangean HDR14.  It is a pocket or travel size radio which runs on 3 double A batteries.  The small speaker sounds good for a small radio!  I compare the AM band in the HDR14 to my CC skywave radio!  They are very close!  Sometimes I think the Sangean has the edge!  It is very good on FM.  I don’t need to extend the whip to hear all the HD streams here!  It comes with an AC adapter.

The second radio is the HDR16.  It is a larger portable with two round speaker grills in the front for stereo sound.  It operates on 4 C batteries.  It comes with an AC adapter.  The carrying handle folds into the top of the radio.  I’d compare the AM reception of the HDR16 to my CC radio plus or whatever it is  called today!  If not exactly the same, it is a good runner up!  The FM band reception is excellent!  I don’t need to extend the whip to hear all hd radio streams here.  One can find  reviews on both radios on youtube.  I highly  recommend both radios!

Jim
