HD Radio

Unread post by Turkeytop »

Bought a new car 3 1/2 months ago and learned just tonight it's equipped with HD radio. I didn't even know. Tuning around the FM band I found that some stations are offering an extra one, two, or even three aternative streams of programming.

We're in Florida now. Don't know if we even have HD radio in Canada.

So, it looks like HD Radio might be doomed to the same fate as was AM stereo.

I don't live close enough to Toronto for FM reception. Occasionally I do catch stations from Detroit or Cleveland. I'll have to be on the lookout.
