I couldn't agree more! Since this tuner was new, deregulation and consolidation have changed the entire radio industry, and not for the better. Like you, I have found a few bright spots and while I don't listen to FM nearly as much as I did 40+ years ago, it's still worthwhile to me. A system without a decent tuner just seems incomplete to me. I'm olde skool.
