I just read the second page of reviews, and there are a couple of
complaints about picking up FM broadcast radio stations. That may be a

the cord), which was horribly susceptible to RFI. Something to look
out for on any model you choose. At least with the Costco one, you can
return it to the store if it doesn't work out...
