Hi. If you have any questions about how this radio works, I will answer
them in this thread.

Not interested - buying an HD Radio, is just supporting the HD Radio
Cartel, which will destroy the broadcast bands with IBOC's
adjacent-channel interference hash ! HD Radio will die, from lack of
consumer interest, anyway. Good going !
I experience no adjacent channel interference, even with strong HD
bands right next to weaker, analogue bands. I don't know why you are
spreading this myth.


It happens on FM, and it is a well-know fact on AM, especially at
night, with sky-wave propagation Why, do you think, the FCC has not
authorized IBOC, at night ? Good old iBiquity, destroying the
broadcast bands ! But, there is little interest in HD Radio:

HD Radio is just a blip-on-the-screen ! Only, a few tens-of-thousands
receivers have been sold - there is no consumer interest, in this farse


Just a blip on the screen? I receive over 20 HD stations in my area
alone! Many of these stations simulcast more than one station. It is
a great pleasure owning a radio capable of picking up digital as well
as analogue signals.

A blip-on-the-screen, in terms of consumer interest - IBOC supporters,
keep touting how many stations are broadcasting in HD, although 1200,
out of 13500, is a small percentage (and, msot are owned by Clear
Channel, part of the HD Radio Cartel). There is one problem, however -
no one is listening !
