It was nearly useless in my urban test area. Like the HD100, this radio comes with a metal whip FM antenna. I recommend not using this device as a clock radio unless you like sleeping with a light on. It was way too bright to keep it on a nightstand next to my bed and I couldn’t find a way to dim it enough to my liking. The 820HD has a very, very, very bright digital display. That’s good because the few buttons they’ve put on the front of the radio were somewhat confusing for me. A well thought-out remote control is included. There are the requisite double alarms with a snooze button on top, a stereo headphone mini-jack, an auxiliary input mini-jack and an optical digital output. The radio is said to be magnetically shielded to allow placement near TV monitors and comes in two colors: Onyx (black) or Arctic White. It’s beautiful, and very well made, but at 13.25 by 7.5 by 4.4 inches and 8 pounds it’s physically large. The others are way too bright for a darkened bedroom in the middle of the night.ĭespite what they say on their Website, the 820HD’s enclosure could never be mistaken for sleek. Also, unlike other the HD radios, Radiosophy's display is barely lit when the radio is turned off. The digital readout display is small and contrasty but functional. There are a bunch of nicely laid-out, but very similar-looking/feeling buttons on the radio’s front face that control the double digital clocks, station selection and all other functions. There’s an auxiliary input jack on the back – for your portable music device and a stereo headphone mini-jack up front. There’s a pair of small speakers and a 4-watt per channel amplifier inside which provide clear sounding voices and instruments. The very large outboard AC adapter weighs nearly one pound al by itself. It measures 12 by 3.34 by 6.25 inches and weighs 2.2 pounds. It is a small table radio – and reminds me of clock radios from the past. Radiosophy’s HD100 receiver is just hitting the market now. ![]() I my experience, I've noticed that second broadcast channels sound as good as the primary stream but, I’ve those third channel streams sound a little tinny. Many local FM stations here are broadcasting second and third digital channels. You can easily discern that the usual drone of AM radio background noise disappears in the HD mode. It is startling to hear the difference when the radio automatically switches into the digital mode. The AM stations here which are using HD technology sound very good. In the New York City area there are many stations broadcasting HD radio signals. The idea here is to set the radio dial to your favorite radio stations, wait 5 seconds or so and then enjoy the music and talk. HD radio receivers sort the different signals and let you listen to the best one you can receive. HD radio stations are now available in the top-100 markets in the country. Local FM stations are allowed to broadcast one or more additional digital feeds on their regular broadcast frequency. AM stations are now allowed to provide an analog and a digital signal during daylight broadcast hours. It is touted as a way for local stations to upgrade and compete with satellite radio services. HD radio is a United States-only broadcasting standard for both AM and FM stations. Their small, stylish radio is just hitting the market with an introductory price of $99.95 – and, if you buy one before July 4th, a $40 rebate will make the final cost to you just under $60. But the big news here is a product from a company named Radiosophy.
