Honorable mention AM FM HD Radio Sangean HDR-14 portable receiver

[@williamcollinson4915]

Couldn't agree with you more, this is an outstanding pocket radio with HD performance that punches above its price/size class.

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

Also has International tunning support like 9 kHz AM expanded band, Japanese FM band, 50 Khz step for FM, and 0.2 Mhz step for FM. 9 kHz and 10 kHz step for AM expanded band are up to 1710 kHz. The rest of 9 kHz stepping region, up to 1629 and 1620 kHz. In each separation of FM and AM regional tunning, Japanese FM band or US odd frequency FM band, as of switch to AM band, that will not affect the change as long as I set AM stepping to 9 KHz with expanded band. But in Sparc SHD-TX2, if I set to FM in 0.2 Mhz step, AM still 10 KHz with expanded band. Then I switched to Japanese FM band, the AM step will change to 9 kHz from 522 - 1629 kHz.

I love my HDR-14 highly recommend. I use rechargeable batteries

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

3 pcs to recharge AAs

[@josephbovio3447]

Thank you for reviewing this radio. Great content as usual. I was on the fence about picking one up but you answered my questions.

[@williamhelms9942]

WBT 1110 AM, Charlotte, NC. It might be too far away but it's the signal it puts out.

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

As you set your HDR-14 to 9 KHz step on AM to 1107 kHz, sound become distorted and not clear.

Very nice little radio. I wish they had a screen that could receive the album art in color. HD FM is here to stay. AM HD hybrid IBOC may be going due to interference but there are lots talking about AM going all digital so HD may be needed for AM some day

[@DonzLockz]

It's an attractive little radio, quite surprising you included it.

[@davidsradioroom9678]

I am looking forward to getting one for my birthday. I want to FM DX.

[@4034miguel]

I was just looking for one HD Radio like this one. So far, I have been my favorite HD stations with my Zune HD, but looking for alternatives if my small Zune dies. Thank you for the recommendation.

[@vinayfondekar3455]

I’m using eneloop pro rechargeable batteries on this radio and the performance is awesome can go on for more than 15 days with more then 10 hours of play time every day. I was wondering why they can’t add HD circuit on high end SW radios it’s gonna be great. Well thank you so much

[@elektroqtus]

At least a shortwave version could hear XFM directly in CQUAM stereo. And maybe me again sometime in the future.

It looks very similar to the DPR65 with DAB+ - a cool little radio with strong reception but with a few annoyances (no stand, topples over easily, no timer or alarm, sticky buttons). Shame that Canada didn't adopt DAB+ instead of HD Radio.

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

DAB-PC1 DAB/FM and Bluetooth receiver also sold on Amazon Canada, before travelling to Europe.

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

Sangean HDR-14 has International tunning support. If FM: 87.50 - 108.00 MHz (50 kHz step) on DPR65 with DAB+, HDR 14 has region tuner settings: Region A 87.5 - 108.0 MHz (100 kHz step) (Philippines, Romania) 522 - 1710 (9 kHz step) (Philippines, Guam, Saipan, Romania) Region B 87.5 - 107.9 MHz (200 kHz step) (Canada, USA, Mexico, Philippines) 530 - 1710 KHz (USA, Canada, Mexico, Brazil) Region C (Southeast Asia) 87.50 - 108.00 MHz (50 KHz step) 522 - 1620 KHz (9 kHz step) Region D 76.0 - 108.0 MHz (Brazil, Japan) 522 - 1629 KHz (Japan)

Does have a stand look at the bottom slides out

[@michaelbogdanowicz5059]

Interesting 🤔

[@cocobeandarla]

can u do a video on how to tune? i’m having a hard time finding videos that show how to plug in the numbers from shortwave schedule

[@elektroqtus]

If it's good for 3.7 volts, that's awesome

[@Atomshamradio]

That radio is tiny wow😯📻

[@zzxxenith]

This is an amazing Radio , AM FM reception is amazing and HD works great. Unfortunately only 1 HD AM in the whole of North America. Plenty of new FM HD stations The circuit build quality is amazing too. HD emergency alert system also works great. I don't understand why the review had an issue with the battery lasts several days. Would have been even better if it was lithium.

[@renewii]

There are more than one AM HD RADIO in USA, some 50kW like 1160 KSL 1080 KRLD 1170 KTSB Colorado has 3 AM HD full time signals

[@OfficialSWLchannel]

All turned off the HD

[@Tykoon]

You said HD Radio is unfortunately going away in North America. Are you sure about that? HD Radio is the only digital format that was approved by the FCC.

[@ryanhuang8498]

It's not going away anytime soon. The system isn't perfect but it's better than DAB in the sense that coverage and quality are concerned.

[@robprupe]

Is HDRadio the equivalent of DAB?

[@FrancisLitanofficialJAPINOY]

Not the frequency. HD Radio on AM and FM. But DAB is on VHF high band from 174.928 - 239.200 MHz As you tune to analog FM channel in strong signal and wait to become HD in CD quality, then select different sub channels on single frequency. HD Radio on AM are worst. Strongest signal on AM turns to HD in FM quality, HD on AM will turn back to analog if weak signal or while moving your receiver to another area. For DAB, scan first in your area, then enjoy DAB channels.

Don't know if you had tried Zune HD music player, but it has a great hd radio, the down fault of it was you only got one hours worth of battery life using the radio!!!

[@vinayfondekar3455]

There are very few buying options for HD RADIOS I wish they made tecsun hd radios…

[@Atomshamradio]

Never heard of hd radio

[@SolarizeYourLife]

I wish it had a better display...kind of sucks... especially what hd can provide...

[@mikewater1958]

Nothing to do with this radio. Have you ever done a test on a Grundig satellit 750?
