HD Radio Reception and Station Troubleshooting
Reception area
Station blending
In order to provide the best possible
experience, use the contact form to report
any station issues found while listening to a
station broadcasting with HD Radio
technology. Independent entities own and
operate each station. These stations are
responsible for ensuring all audio streams
and data fields are accurate.

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.
When the system first receives a station (aside from HD2-HD7 multicast stations), it first plays the station
in the analog version. Once 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. Blending is the shift from analog to digital sound or digital back to analog sound.
