"Niles HD radio issues"

"We have been installing quite a few HD radio 'Cards' for the Niles
ICS multiroom audio system. This is a proprietary device that fits in
a slot in the ICS mainframe if you will. Lately we have been having a
rash of problems with lockups etc. The radio will show a channel and
good signal, but no audio. A reboot will typically bring it back. We
have had more severe failures as well. We now carry a spare card with
us and are now considering going back to AM/FM only cards. All other
functions on this keypad based audio system have been great. I am
wondering if anyone has any insight into these failures? Niles must
have to buy them from a chip manufacturer of some sort? It would seem
to be a problem with the chipset. We have been using attic or roof
mounted antennas to improve signal, but that does not seem to be the
problem as unites still fail with the antenna. There seems to be alot
more going on with these devices than standard tuners. More power
consumption as well. I wonder if the power consumption is the issue? I
am really guessing here, but Niles is not helping with any tech
support. Thanks in advance for insight."
