Radios
I am looking to buy a radio that will give me reception in semi remote areas. Is there such a product? I am staying at a campsite with limited cell coverage and no radio reception. Thanks

FM radio sensitivity is measured in dBf. The lower number the better. Some poor quality stereos have number around 12 or higher. Most good quality automotive radios have a sensitivity spec down around 8 or 9.
An online retailer like Crutchfield will give you this spec. and many others about each stereo. You can compare and find one with the best sensitivity. There is a huge difference between a factory stereo and a good quality aftermarket one.
I will also agree that satellite radio is an excellent alternative. They have something for everyone. I can't imagine how someone couldn't find something enjoyable to listen too. I have a subscription where I pick out 50 channels. It costs less than $10 per month.
