you can get a ton of HD radio info at www.hdradio.com with local listings in a given area.
from what I understand from one of my local audio dealers, audiocraft in greater cleveland, most aren't very good for am broadcasts. I'm probably going to get an Internet WI-FI portable and merely paste my icons into it taking it around wherever I go and pluggin into either my comp, home stereo or a pair of portable speakers that I have planted throughout my house, garage and patio... for the cost of an HD, I'd probably go satellite as well. Probably will get sirius online this weekend and listen to at home or work comp without purchasing any hardware, because not necessary to listen to on bus and can access via wife's phone pda in the car via fm transmitter.
