HD Radio Reception Factors
Reception Area: If you are listening to a multicast (HD2, HD3.) 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 will simply switch to the analog broadcast until the digital broadcast is available again.
However, if you are listening to any of the possible multicast (HD2-HD8) channels, the station will mute and stay muted unless it is able to connect to the digital signal again. While in this state, the “swirl” icon will appear for a few seconds. If it is not able reconnect to the digital signal, then the screen will be cleared and text ‘station unavailable’ will appear in artist and title field area.

Station Blending: When a HD1 station is received, the system will play the analog audio broadcast from the station for a few seconds and then, if the receiver verifies the station is an HD Radio station, it will transition to play the digital audio broadcast. Depending on the station quality, you may hear a slight sound change when the station transitions from analog to the digital broadcast. The shift from analog to digital or digital back to analog sound is known as ‘blending
Station Issues: 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. This form can be found at: https://hdradio.com/stations/feed back/
