As more stations begin transmitting HD Radio signals, the need for HD Radio receivers will grow. Kenwood received a great deal of attention for offering the first HD Radio tuner module for use with its head units. Now, several companies offer consumer HD Radio receivers. Here is a rundown of the units that we were able to find listed as being commercially available. Unfortunately, few of these models are available at local retail outlets. Most must be ordered through mail order or online outlets.
