Before purchasing a digital radio ensure that you can receive a good signal where you live. This can be checked via a number of sites online through a simple Google search. Too many people assume that because their new radio is *digital* they will be able to get high quality audio and a vast choice of different stations, but this is not always the case. In some parts of the country the signal is very weak and you can end up wasting your money on a device that is essentially useless to you!
