HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting
Potential Reception Issues
If you are listening to a multicast station and you
are on the fringe of the reception area, the station
may mute due to weak signal strength.
If you are listening to HD1, the system switches back
to the analog broadcast until the digital broadcast
is available again. However, if you are listening to
any of the possible HD2-HD7 multicast channels,
the station mutes and stays muted unless it is able
to connect to the digital signal again. Reception area
When a station is first received (aside from HD2-
HD7 multicast stations), the system first plays the
station in the analog version and then, if the receiver
verifies the station is an HD Radio station, it shifts
to the digital version. Depending on the station
quality, you may hear a slight sound change when
the station changes from analog to digital. This shift
from analog to digital sound or digital back to
analog, is known as blending. Station blending
In order to provide the best possible
experience, a contact form has been
developed to report any station issues
found while listening to a station
broadcasting with HD Radio
technology. Every station is
independently owned and operated.
These stations are responsible for
ensuring all audio streams and data
fields are accurate.
