"I wanted to post and ask how my neighbors in Rochester, NY are doing
with their HD radios. I'm enjoying the stations, WCMF HD2 in
particular, but there are seem to be a lot of dead spots well within
the city limits. I take 490 in each day, and there are a lot of
stretches where 95.1, 100.5, and 106.7 drop out completely. Anybody
have experiences/opinions to share? Does anybody know about current or
pending power increases in our area?"

"Im not anywhere near Rochester, but your experiences are typical.
Some radio industry weenies are trying to push through a big power
increase for all HD stations to solve this problem, but until that
happens (and don't hold your breath), about all you can do is
experiment with better antennas and signal boosters. The technology
just doesn't work all that well in moving vehicles."

"Ive heard about the push for increased signal level, and I was
thinking that it would be worth hanging on to my HD car receiver for
that. I don't know, at this point all HD Radio gives me in the car is
a headache/anxiety that I've spent so much on a HU and its constantly
irritating me. The one thing I cannot stand is when you are in an area
where the HD signal sort-of works, and it keeps switching in and out
of HD. (Then my wife says that she likes the FACTORY radio in her car
better, because it doesn't do that... OUCH!)."
