Title: Works, Cheap
Review: The local AM station simulcasts on one of its FM sister's subchannels so I got the tuner to get pre-sunrise reception of that. That worked fine.It doesn't cost too much.I notice on AM that sometimes, with a really good antenna system by the way, I can get AM HD at 500 miles range, around sunrise. It's pretty astounding when the usual distant radio noises are replaced by FM quality sound, albeit only for a few minutes at a time.It's also interesting on AM in thunderstorms. The encoding manages to work right through some static crashes without indicating any hint of them being there, and not others.I'm not an audiophile so have no opinion on the FM HD quality. The programming on FM is awful so I can't get worked up about it in any case.The AM is sort of cute, but since its being there puts out god-awful amounts of noise on AM channels on either side of the station for non-HD receivers, it's very likely that the whole AM scheme will be abandoned sooner or later, or anyway it ought to be.
Is the review positive or negative?
