HD Radio Technology & Multicasting
The single largest technological advancement in radio in more than 45 years, HD Radio technology is the new standard
for digital AM and FM radio in the US and around the world. HD Radio technology transforms your radio listening
experience in exciting new ways, offering you the quality, choice and interactive data services that are fast becoming
a new information and entertainment standard.
Multicasting, which is the ability to broadcast multiple program streams over a single FM frequency (97.7-2, 97.7-3,
etc.), greatly increases the amount and diversity of content you can access. HD Radio technology offers:
Static-free, crystal-clear reception
CD-quality sound on FM Digital; FM-stereo quality sound on AM
Stations stay in their well-known, traditional place on the radio dial
A variety of “data services” ranging from text-based information (artist name, song title, weather alerts, school
closings and more) to live traffic reports, all of which would scroll across your receiver display.
