I had it in my car and it was working good in the beginning, but now it seems like I get a lot of interference from local radio stations so I can never find a frequency. I think there is a way to hook it up directly without using the radio tuner, then this problem would be eliminated.
You can also get a good antenna for the house. I do know it works better on the North Coast then on the South, since the NC is just barely in the umbrella of reception.
