As was noted before, it's ashame they didnt sell the tuners one per person. But thats water under the bridge. The whole point of the empeg was not to need the radio, because radio can beat personal programming.

The radio is great however if you still want to listen to news, or your need AM for specific reasons. It does come in handy.

note: I do not have a tuner. I probably will buy the kit. I keep a portable handheld am radio (battery operated)
