Haven't tried HD Radio yet? No worries: all you need is an HD receiver and you're on your way to listening to crystal-clear, static-free receptions. RadioShack and the HD Digital Radio Alliance announced today that RadioShack stores in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, NYC, Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, Houston and Washington, D.C., will sell the Boston Acoustics Recepter Radio HD.
The Boston Acoustics Recepter Radio HD offers a multiline display that shows song title, artist, station name and other broadcast data. It also features a clock alarm, remote control, a second speaker, and memory tuning for programming up to 20 AM/FM stations.
In the Fall of 2006, RadioShack hopes to sell its own branded receivers.
If you want to know more about HD Radio, or would like to see a demonstration, then head over to RadioShack or online at RadioShack.com/HDradio.
RadioShack is the first major national retailer to sell HD Radio receivers; Tweeter, Crutchfield, and ABC Warehouse/Detroit were the first major retailers to sell them. More than 800 radio stations are currently broadcasting in HD. "Consumers listening to HD Digital Radio receive FM channels with near-CD quality sound, AM radio with FM-quality sound, brand new HD2 multicast channels and formats, and the transmission of additional information on the display device such as song titles, artist information, traffic alerts, stocks and sports scores."
Get the Boston Acoustics Recepter Radio HD for $299.99.
