Will HD radio signal penetrate metal building

Today I heard about HD radio and naturally I wonder if this is still an AM signal that will not penetrate a metal building or is an HD signal a more easily recievable signal that we are used to in AM? From what I have seen, the IBOC FM signal is maybe a little bit more robust than the analogue signal. So if the FM reception is a little marginal, you may still be able to get the HD broadcast from that station. On the other hand, IBOC AM is less robust than the analogue signal, so if the AM station is marginal, you probably won't be able to get the IBOC AM signal from it at all. Our experience at KTNQ is the oppostite. Many places where the analog signal is noisy have HD reception that is pristine. HD expands the coverage area of KTNQ due to the high noise level on the analog signals in LA. |
