D-Link USB Radio or Radioshark?

Hi, I have the D-Link DSB-R100 and I do NOT like the reception it is getting. It has such horrible reception, that I don 't get any local station that I usually would get within an instant. So I am probably going to sell it and buy a radioshark. How much do radiosharks usualyl go for? How much do you think I can sell my D-Link one for? Thanks for the input!!!

Sorry. For the RadioShark.
Dlink doesn't produce their radio any longer, so I have no idea how much you could get for it.

I have a DRU-R100 that I used in my truck. Let's just say, the results were...bad. Most people are going to tell you the same thing. Search around and you'll see that most people have had horrible luck with the D-Link radio.

I can't speak about the radioshark, as I've never seen one.

Personally, I switched to XM.

Really?? You switched to XM radio in your car?? How hard is it to hook up XM to a car? And how much monthly do you pay?? That's a really interesting idea.

They look exactly alike though.. But it doesn't make a difference.

it's the same unit - just different name for US model and UK model. i ordered a UK model because at the time it was cheaper.

as for XM, it's the same price as an XM subscription. just search the forums and you'll see how to do it.

Just as a side note, D-Link does not make high quality equipment...at all. I've never owned the pieces you're talking about but I have owned my fair shair of other products from them, all with bad endings.
