* With the first antenna, I could get only 10 of the at least 16 stations HD-2 multicast channels listed for my area. (There are two different station lists–by state and alphabetical by market–neither listing every station on the other.) I started with the smaller of two antennas that came with the radio–the second one recommended for “more remote areas.” I used the station lists at to guide my tuning. The first place I tried the radio was at home in Northern New Jersey, 23 miles from the Empire State Building. (HD Alliance CEO Peter Ferrara tells Inside Radio this morning that Radio Shack was “overwhelmed with the sales” of the Accurian over the weekend.) Had he sold any others today? “Somebody must have bought one. I bought the Accurian anyway–the last one in stock, he told me.
But the Radio Shack salesman couldn’t play me the Accurian–it wasn’t plugged in and, he told me, didn’t get any reception inside the store. But he had to walk around the store with me to find the display unit still an improvement, the Circuit City salesperson had only been able to hand me a brochure. I found the Accurian sale ($125 with a $25 mail-in rebate) through a Google search, although I later found out that using the site search would have worked, too.Īt the Radio Shack I went to, the salesman was indeed aware of the special–an improvement, by the way, over the early days of satellite radio when the first Circuit City salesperson I spoke to was barely conversant about it.

There was no obvious place to click to on the homepage, for that matter, since the pulldown for “portable music” offered you CD players, MP3 players, boomboxes, portable radios (smaller ones), satellite radios, and accessories. There was no mention of it on the homepage. The day after Thanksgiving, I went to to see if the Accurian was indeed on sale for $99. (Boston Acoustics owners had complained of having to string their own.) This time, I was told, I could count on receiving at least the New York stations with the antenna that was provided with the radio. When word went out that Radio Shack was going to be selling its Accurian Table Top HD Radio for $99 on the Friday after Thanksgiving, I e-mailed my contact again. Wait for a radio with improved reception, I was told. In Somerville, N.J.–50 miles from New York and 60 from Philadelphia–I wouldn’t be able to pick up the HD signals of FM stations in either market or their multicast channels. I decided to wait after a friend familiar with the receiver warned me off. In French: TSF for Télégraphie sans fil.Īll listed radios etc.I’d been ready to buy an HDRadio receiver about six months ago–shortly after an industry-wide offer went out making a Boston Acoustics radio available for about $200. Here you find 1224 models, 1100 with images and 109 with schematics for wireless sets etc. See "Data change" for further contributors.
First appearance was in the 1998 Radio Shack catalog, but reference unit had a manufacture date of 1997.
