The #FM filters on the "newer" D-808 are great. I live <10 miles (<16km) away from a 107.7 tower, and it blows out most radios, showing up all over the dial. Sometimes, it comes out of fans, lightbulbs, and other random electric devices.

107.7 stays in its lane on the #D808, and frequencies near it are even tunable.
