The display is a nother thing it does what ever it want to it goes bright and than dark . I would tell people not to buy it not worth it money!!!!!!
 A complete waste of money November 9, 2008
The concept of HD radio seems to be fundamentally flawed in that there are very few radio stations which are available in HD but not on FM. The sound quality through HD is no better... in fact worse than FM and the only advantage is that you can see the title of the song which is playing.
The radio itself is very disappointing... terrible base, and very thin sound and no depth.

Good little HD radio October 7, 2008

I like the XDR-S3HD. It requires a little work for good reception since it has no built in antennas. I live in SF Bay Area in close proximity to transmitters for a lot of stations; so the antennas included in the box worked OK. What totally eliminated HD drop-outs however was to use my outdoor TV antenna for FM-HD. I also, for AM, ran a 20 ft length of bare wire in the attic with insulated wire to the radio then grounded the second AM input. FM-HD radio reception is excellent on all the HD multicast stations I like. I get FM reception from all over the Bay Area and as far out as Sacramento. AM tunes in all the locals fine, and at night I receive all up and down the west coast. With stations multicasting, it's nice to have 20 FM-HD presets. I tried plugging in my MP3 player and it came through with good volume. Tonal quality for the radio's size is very good. Base and treble are easy to adjust. Controls are intuitive and easy to access. Radio is great for home office or kitchen. It has the necessary clock radio features; so it would also serve well on a nightstand. What was really good about this radio was its price. Fry's sells it for $99.90 and during September was giving out $50 rebates; so the radio cost me just $50.
