\"\"<\/a>Based on readers correspondence, the most anticipated non-shortwave radio to hit the market this year might be the Sangean HDR-14<\/strong> AM\/FM HD radio.<\/p>\n

Sangean sent me a sample evaluation unit and I’ve had it on the air since taking delivery last week. I’m starting to put the elements of my HDR-14 review together while also writing Part 2 of my SDR primer for The Spectrum Monitor magazine (Part 1 was published last week<\/a>). Indeed, I’ve a total of five<\/em> reviews and evaluations on my desk right now–!<\/p>\n

So far, I’m impressed with the little HDR-14. If you recall my review of the Sangean HDR-16<\/a>, I mentioned that one of my benchmark distant HD FM stations is WFAE 2–its transmitter is a full 101 miles from my home and I’m well outside even the the fringe reception area.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

The HDR-14 has a unique back stand: a small foot that swivels out of the base of the chassis.<\/p><\/div>\n

I’m pleased to note that on more than one occasion, I’ve gotten a reliable HD lock of WFAE from my porch. A most positive sign!<\/em><\/p>\n

Over the next three weeks, the HDR-14 will be travelling with me and I hope to even snag an AM HD station if all goes well.<\/p>\n

I can tell you already that I’m as pleased as punch Sangean gave the HDR-14 a total of 20 AM and 20 FM memory presets. The larger HDR-16<\/a>, in contrast, only has 5 AM and 5 FM presets.<\/p>\n

Look for my review of the HDR-14 on the SWLing Post<\/em> in the coming weeks. If interested, follow the tag: HDR-14<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve noted that both Universal Radio<\/a><\/strong> and Amazon.com<\/strong> (affiliate link)<\/a> have the HDR-14 in stock and shipping. Universal’s price is $79.99 plus shipping and Amazon’s price is $88.67 including shipping.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
