Hd fm radio = c3po

[bradyb]

I was treated to the lovely sounds of r2dr and C3PO coming from my favorite morning show station during the commute.

It seems as though the HD was having some trouble with the marine layer and was having some issues. Has anyone had this problem before?

I changed stations at it continued then cleared.

I "ticked" off the "HD" to turn it off and the abnormality remained until I changed stations.

HD radio is even more susceptable to atmospherics than a regular FM signal. If the HD signal is interrupted at all, all audio will be lost; if an analog signal experiences problems, you get static but you can still hear the audio broadcast (depending on how bad the audio problem is).

Please note that "HD" does NOT stand for High Def. Its just a name. (Just like XM is just a name unlike AM or FM which does have meaning).

Right, Bob, the "HD" in HD Radio stands for Hybrid Digital.

I wish terrestrial radio was better.... the HD sounds very good and clear. But the commercials.....
