No, the 998 has a 13 band EQ, the 898 has a 3 band EQ. Spend the extra money and get the HD radio version. There aren't that many HD stations currently but more come on board every day. You will be glad you did in the long run. CD quality radio sound is awesome. The 998 is the best single din unit out there for the money I believe. Do your own research and you will see. Here is a link to a site that gives a side by side comparison. http://www.crutchfield.com/Responsive/Product/CompareTo.aspx?compareItems=01|113KDCX898&compareItems;=01|113KDCX998&g;=300 I got the best price from Amazon, and am very happy with my purchase.

I believe the sounds quality features are different as well, though I could be wrong, on Kenwood's website there is comparison thing though if I recall correctly

I am not sure. What is the difference, ten dollars? I absolutely love my unit. Get the hd radio, you won't regret it

/no the top of the line is the 1198. The 998's made before this year are NOT HD, but the HD really refers to the screen not to the depth/fish finding function. I recently had to send mine back for service - very quick turnaround but have not been able to put it on the boat yet to check if everything was fixed. If you are fishing saltwater consider that Lowrance offers Broadband radar - much safer and more close-in detail than regular radar - which is offered by Humminbird. If not dealing with radar its a tossup in my opinion. Good Fishing !!

TYT had lost a court case in China and was forced to discontinue sales and production of the TH-9000 radio. Well, the TH-9000 is back and it's called the TH-9000D. I guess that makes a difference to the Chinese attorneys. Please note there are issues with programming and clone on these new models reported. Also the microphone connecter has a different wiring than the orginal series.

Not relay sure but I don't think so as HD changed the radios in 06, I think the 09 will require a different AMP.Call Hogtunes and ask them.

My radio's firmware is BFB 293. to my knowledge it is the latest firmware, although as with any firmware, there may be a newer one out or on it's way. Kelley

Yes u can still use yr old radio with a new v911 but u must bind it first. You can go to youtube they have all the info you need.

They are the same heli but the 9118 has a better Radio range. the circuit board burns out on both easily

Although I returned the HK AVR, I have to say I really do not think it supports HD radio.

Not the same as you find in a HD radio but it uses RDS AF to pick up on digital data signal for same stations on different frq but not true HD radio like you find in cars or HD radio tuners.

No, this is not an HD radio, it only receives analog AM and FM broadcasts. Sangean and most other radio manufacturers no longer make HD radios. It is digital in the sense of having a digital display and having digital signal processing (DSP), but not receiving digital HD broadcasts. Amazon's information on this product is lacking, more information can be obtained at http://www.sangean.com/products/product.asp?mid=149&cid=5.

This is the radio I bought for my husband, it does not say enhanced 2E on it . Just says CCRadio2 in lower left hand corner of radio.

Don't know as I have not installed this radio. But I have HD FM radio in my Jeep and was told that they are one in the same. Call Crutchfield customer service tech support and see if they can give you quick answer or check in their tech support at Crutchfield.com and see if you get answer - I was not aware that they are separate, FM and FMHD, are determined by your revivers capabilities?

I no longer have the 7008 (I have the 7009) however, I believe they are basically the same aside from the 09 having Atmos. I never used the zones over than the main, but I'm more than sure it can be done - a simple stereo zone in 2 with a 7.1 set-up.

The main difference is the 888 is single band and the 5re is duel. In the 400 MHz range with the same antenna they will perform the same. Basically you just get more bands with the 5re

Yes. There is no comparison. However, properly tuning it is a p.i.t.a.. I ended up doing what I should have in the first place and upgraded the radio.

I am not 100% sure, but I am going to say yes. The only difference between the two models is internal with the satellite radio component and the weather alert.

Yes in my opinion -I have a 997 and 998 running it. check the Humm site for a full list. bill
