      Hi Marc
      Yes, absolutely, most of the local am is broadcast in HD-FM format . Have to check what's available in your area.

    I have one of them big toolbox radios made for Dewalt and it’s in the basement at the camp just accumulating dust. That looks very solid and plays cristal clear. Very good selection for your shop. I have an old radio that we got from Sears in the day of the big stereo systems and it’s good enough for when I use it. I usually turn on the TV when I’m in there for a while…..CHEERS

    Really cool little radio. HDFM is not a term I was familiar with but it sounds amazing! Lots of features and very solid build quality too. Good find! Made in England...who knew? Coincidentally, I was looking up CRYSTAL RADIOS last week. They are made with a coil of wire, a resister, a capacitor and an earpiece. They need no power supply, not even a battery! (they are powered solely by the transmitting radio waves from the broadcast station) They are also called a foxhole radio (or maybe that's a similar build??) CZcams has them. They were made by radio-savvy soldiers during WW2 and are now being built by hobbyists for a fun project that actually works! Nice radio review, Steve! Another fantastic show and 100% watched! Cheers

      Hi Craig
      HD radio is not well known but does sound a lot better than AM.

    The fact that it's made in England is pretty cool. It looks old-fashioned. The high definition FM is a nice option.
    And that's too bad about the young Canadians trying to make ends meet. Thank you, Canadian government, for taking care of our future generation.

      Hi Kenny
      Turns out after filming its made in China but it's still awesome. Seems everything electronic is assembled in China. I really like the little radio.

      @@SteveRobReviews I have heard that some FM stations broadcast the song title & artist and their station call letters and some radios can display this on the screen. I wonder if that is HD?

      @GrampiesWorkshop This portable one I have is the same in vehicles that offer am, fm , sirusxm , the HD is a combination of am/fm that can display 3 channels on one channel number . It's pretty cool.

    What are you listening to on AM radio? I'll occasionally listen to the hockey game on AM and the wife likes to listen to classical music on CBC.
    That's a really nice radio, especially for the price. my current garage radio is about as big as that Milwaukee one and I'm doing some rearranging out there to try and gain more space. I'll keep that one in mind
