Kenwood and HD Radio

cab83_750 · 02-08-2010, 03:03 PM

I have a Kenwood unit with built-in HD. I did not need to buy extra units/antenna for it.

The AM sounds great - better than regular FM.
FM sounds awesome - almost like CD.

Cons:
Sometimes you lose signal ---- the broadcast just dies for a few seconds and it comes back.

My preliminary guideline/recommendation:
If you do not live near the city and if the intermittent lost of connection bothers you, don't get it.

Thanks guys, I was not sure if the HD ready would just work or needed the extra box, thanks.
