A review of Radiosophy HD Radio HD100

I had the Radiosophy HD100 for several weeks this summer and is definitely a great value at $ 99.95.
To the best of my knowledge this is the least expensive HD Radio available, still has a number of very interesting features.

Pro

I liked the sound very HD. Both AM and FM sound much better in HD - with its clear and clean, no static or interference. However, and this may be just me, I saw the most dramatic difference between regular AM and AM HD Radio.

The device is easy to use right out of the box without any installation problem. It is essentially plug and play, just plug and turn it on.

It is also easy to find HD stations. Trying simply press and radio automatically switches to the next station can be found, and a red light. If the station broadcasts in HD, a flash of blue light, then solid when the HD signal locked inside the text display shows the stations call letters, and if it has an HD2 channel, TS frequency will be followed by the number one. For example, 101.1 appear 101,1-1. Click on search again and the HD100 automatically goes to the HD2 channel.

The HD100 is also very easy to program. Everything 'to do when you find an HD or HD2 broadcast you want to save, is a touch of five program buttons. You can set up U-five hours and five FM stations.

There is also a high-scan and Scan Button Down. I found the scan button to be especially since Seek only goes the dial.

Radiosophy The HD100 has a telescoping FM antenna that I really need. However, I did then fix the AM antenna, as I had a problem with AM station signals despite the fact that I live in a metropolitan area.

I also liked its compact size. The design is nice and is easy to pick up the unit and take it from one room to another. As it doubles as a clock radio with a clock, an alarm and a snooze function, I'd probably keep it in my room.

Recital

I want to see this ship HD Radio has a remote control. I sat on a shelf in the room so that every time that I decided to change channels or adjust the volume, I had to stop what I was doing, and get up and walk towards unity.

I also found the screen or text on the screen a bit 'difficult to read. But then I'm not a speck of chicken so maybe it had more to do with me that the radio display.

Finally, given the size of the units, there is a true stereo separation. The sound is excellent, but you think you're listening to a broadcast stereo. However, for me, okay, because the HD100 is a compact, radio-alarm clock and not a bookshelf stereo system.

Summary

In summary, Radiosophy found the HD100 to be a great value. That is almost $ 100 less than other tables and still gives almost everything you need in an HD Radio. The sound is clean and pure, it is easy to install and use and can even wake you.

I give him a B +.
