[BC] Reading: Are HD Radios Made w/Crappy Tuners?

[Dana Puopolo]

When I stayed in a Hotel in Secaucus, NJ, the clock radio there was so bad
that it couldn't separate NYC class B FM stations 800 kHz apart. I found it
pathetically amusing that the NAB used the same radio to prove that LPFMs
would intertfere with full power stations 400 kHz away. Talk about choosing
your data to agree with you!

It seems that radio receiver design is extremely price driven, so
performance is a race to the bottom. We have a GE SuperRadio that works
well. The rest of the radios around the house turn religious (from NPR) as
you walk around the room. My wife wants to throw them out and get some
radios that actually work. They seem kinda rare these days, though.
