I should have paid heed to the reviewers who complained about the "static" in their evaluations. I found only one station preset with minimal static. I tried programming in other stations with little luck. Also it takes less than a mile or so of travel to get out of range of a station with decent reception which means you now have to fiddle again to find a station setting which works. Can't, of course, do this while driving yourself and even as a passenger, I found it frustrating and eventually gave up. So, it's in my car, unused, and will probably stay that way.
