There's also a Panasonic (looks very cheap and unattractive) at 
Wal-Mart. The JVC is a different model number than mine and is 
probably made in China with the finest lead and is dumbed down to 
lower the price. I'm told by Circuit City and Best Buy that the units 
aren't selling so they're reluctant to expand their inventory of 
models. There's only one retailer in my market that carries any of 
the table radios. That's Radio Shack. They carry no car radios. Once 
the discontinued BA Receptors in stock are sold they'll only sell 
their own Accurian. At the rate they're selling the last Receptors 
may be sold as curious novelties to your grandchildren's 
grandchildren. "Hey kids, let's add this to your 4 channel record 
player and AM stereo radio. We can put it next to the 8-track player 
and color wheel TV"

Best Buy here carries only the JVC. The rest require an external 
tuner for IBUZ, XM or SIRIUS.
