Chuck, I think the information you have been given is correct. there is a marked improvement in the sound of the AM, but if your market only has one AM station broadcasting a digital signal, which is turned off at night, it isn't worth the expense of the radio. also to a middle aged person rounding the bend becoming a senior citizen, there aren't enough formats to my liking being broadcast on the HD channels that would persuade me to buy an HD radio. the Accurian radio I looked at from the shack had poor sensitivity too.
