What is HD Radio®
HD Radio is an upgrading of the way AM and FM radio signals are transmitted, from analog to digital signals. Sounds neat. But what does that mean for us listeners?
"HD Radio technology allows broadcasters to transmit a high-quality digital signal. For listeners who have an HD Radio receiver, the benefits are:
FM radio with near CD-quality sound
AM radio that sounds as good as traditional FM
No more static, pops, crackles or fades
Transmission of additional information, such as song titles and artists
Increased listening options with multicasting
Let's take a look at each of these in turn. |

Bill, my FM reception is already cd quality.
I would not care to hear am in any quality, the weather and traffic are fine as is.
I have no static or pops, except on am, which is a confirmation of the afformentioned weather forecast.
I get song titles fron my regular car radio(gm).
Listening options are spinning the dial(and I do not have to hear Howard Stern).
I have heard comm's for hd radio, but have not looked into it for the above reasons. |
