That doesn't make sense, because HD Radio is more likely to drop out indoors
than outdoors because the signal strength is a lot lower indoors than it is
outdoors due to building penetration loss, and OFDM copes with mobile
reception relatively well.

Looks like the digital radio industry in the US is as clueless about digital
radio technologies as the grossly incompetent UK DAB industry.

The BBC's "justification" of digital radio switchover is based on lies


Drop-Out -versus- IBOC Digital Drop-Outs :

Drop-out : low-signal or no-signal
* Indoors if your signal has dropped-out : You either
change to another Radio Station -or- don't listen to
the Radio at all -or- Listen to something that you
have pre-recorded.

Digital Drop-Outs : Intermittent Signal Strong Signal
then No Signal with IBOC as you move around from
spot to spot with a Pocket Radio that uses the Head
phone Wire as teh FM Antenna : You may have a
Strong Signal in one location with your Body and
Antenna positioned one way; and you may have a
Np Signal in another location with your Body and
Antenna positioned another way.

Mobile Digital Drop-Outs : Intermittent Signal Strong
Digital IBOC Signal along one area of the Road; and
then No Signal with IBOC as you move along another
stretch of the Road.
