Where around Boston can you hear the new tabletop Sparc ITR-1 AM-FM-HD radio?

I don't know if it's in any stores around here. Those links led to a way to purchase it online. I have bought the first and second versions of the Audiovox/Insignia (store brand of Best Buy) AT Best Buy and they were halfway decent. A couple yrs ago I saw the Best Buy in Saugus had a tabletop model for about $50 or so. I don't know if they or anyone else has this brand. Let me check:

OK the best buy site, when you're not looking at the car radios, has the HD tabletop Insignia for $51 or so (clearance) and the aforementioned portable.
I don't know if anyone around here has the radio or not, and I'm having a tough time finding it other than on the links you put up.
 
When in Pittsburgh & Akron OH, I had a rental car with HD...some stations had as much as HD-4s. Scanned the dial...
yeah whatever.

I work in N Reading MA not far from WRKO's antenna in Burlington. Suppose I want to hear Howie Carr and there's interference at work (workroom floor makes it tough)

--put WEEI-FM 93.7's HD 2 on, with WRKO, and it keeps dropping
--put smartphone with WRKO or WNTK or even WHYN streaming. Hardly ever drops.

Maybe radio recep of HD is better with a tabletop or car stereo (or even one of the ones that's a few thousand bucks...)
but I found a smartphone easier to deal with
