No antenna November 15, 2008
Robert A. Staton (CA)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Just after I bought mine, I discovered it requires an external antenna. My car does not have easy access to its antenna cable, so I bought a separate window-mount antenna. (Unfortunately, this antenna picks up some noise on the AM band from electronics inside my car.) br / br /I'm using the Line Out on the Jump to connect to the Line In on my stereo. I don't understand why anybody would ever want to use the RF modulator, since that just drops the signal quality back to regular analog. br / br /ANALOG I did many A/B comparisons between the Jump (receiving non-HD radio signals) and my car radio. The Jump sounded better in almost all cases. Once nice feature about the Jump is that a fading FM signal will start to sound muffled, instead of presenting harsh noise like most FM radios do. AM radio sounds much clearer than my car's AM receiver (other than the interference caused by the antenna I was using). br / br /DIGITAL The Jump performs as well as HD radio is capable of. br / br /Do some research. HD radio technology is not perfect. Claims of "CD quality" sound are often highly exaggerated. br / br /The manual says nothing about removing the unit from your dashboard on a hot sunny day. But I'm not waiting for it to melt to find out what happens.
Great alternative to Satellite Radio February 11, 2008

I really enjoy this radio. There are many more broadcast options in the Dallas Ft. Worth area, and all other major Texas cities. See http://www.hdradio.com/ for probable options. I say probable because I was really interested in the All Beatles option listed but that station does not play all Beatles. But, the sound is great. br / br /I waited months to get it installed because I did not want to pay any more. I eventually was able to do it myself in such a way as to use it in two of my trucks. I just had to buy a $14 antenna kit and a $10 radio remover kit. br / br /It works great in my home radio kit as well.
Great Radio January 10, 2008

I have been hearing about HD Radio for about a year and was really interested because in Dallas, you get a lot of static in and around airports and power lines when listening to AM talk radio. Except for one spot, it has completely eliminated the "in-and-out" of static in most places including parking garages. br / br /It picks up a signal similar to satellite radio so it can come and go (when it doesn't catch the HD signal, it goes back to the traditional radio signal) but when it is on, FM sounds like CDs, and AM sounds like FM! It is great! br / br /You should definitely have it professionally installed as the previous reviewer said. Too many little things to go wrong (my guy blew the fuse on the back of my car radio when installing). br / br /The neat thing that I have found about HD Radio is that stations multicast. When you tune in to the main regular station, if they have multiple "sub" stations, you can tune in as well. Completely different playlists with minimal commercials - all FREE! br / br /Good stuff!
HD Radio Rocks! May 30, 2007

I've known about HD Radio and the technology for about two years from a college course I took. I'd been interested in getting a product that receives HD Radio signals since. What made me buy this product over any other available at the time of this writing, was that the tuner is movable! Other HD Radio tuners are installed into cars, and others will work only in your home- you can't switch them. br / br /With this, you can have a car kit installed in your car, and a home kit set up in your house. All you have to do is remove the tuner from one dock and place it into the other, and you can listen to HD Radio stations easily! The presets saved are kept between locations. br / br /The car kit comes with a plastic surface to mount onto your dashboard (in case you want to mount the product on a surface other than the windshield), a windshield mount with suction cup, the HD Radio dock, and all cables needed for installation in a car. The cables include an Antenna IN extension cable for your current antenna and an Antenna OUT cable (these allow you to still be able to tune to radio stations on your current car stereo receiver, just in case you forget to bring the HD Radio tuner with you), a DC adapter (which is attached to the "Ignition-ON" power source), a 1/4" to 1/4" cable for connection of an MP3 player/auxilary audio source (instead of switching cables). Also included is a remote control, an odd choice to include with the car kit, as it seems better used as part of the home kit. br / br /This product includes an onboard FM modulator. From what I can tell, you can set up this product to send it's FM signal anywhere on the FM spectrum (87.9 to 107.9). I can't say how well the FM modulator works as I use auxilary in on my car's receiver. br / br /Unless you are comfortable installing this yourself, Visteon recommends professional installation of this product in your car, which is what I did, and am completely satisfied with that installation.
