Don't understand why they took it out.

Many people were complaining that the empeg mk1's radio wasn't strong enough - being inside the empeg, it received alot of interference from empeg - which is why they took it out of the box... In my experience, the mk1's radio wasn't as strong as my factory head unit's radio, but was still sufficient enough to receive most of the stations that I listened to.
