I just got mine today, yet another Christmas present to myself. My denon receiver couldn't pick up a station if it was broadcast from my neighbors house. I picked this unit up for $79.50 on Amazon. I got it for 2 public radio stations I can only get in my car. Amazingly, it picks them up with ease. I am only using the cheap dipole that came with it. I may hook it up to my roof antenna, just to see what else I can find. It locks onto anolog stations great, and the HD stations are an added bonus. 96.9 here is "classic" rock, but they have an HD channel, and it only plays the Blues which is my favorite. This is a great tuner (not a radio) for very little coin. I have mine hooked up to my 2 channel McIntosh rig, and of course hooked to the Sierra's.
Happy Holidaze.
