What is HD Radio, anyway?
Chances are that you’ve heard of HD Radio, but maybe you aren’t entirely sure how it works or just what it can do for you I know that I wasn’t until I jumped into this review. So, here’s a brief synopsis of the three major benefits: • Improved sound quality. Radio stations can broadcast more information more accurately with a digital signal, which means that they will be able to broadcast better-quality songs and programming, without static or crackles. HD Radio describes it as “FM stations with CD-quality sound and AM stations with FM-quality sound.” • More listening options with “multicasting.” HD Radio calls it “the stations between the stations.” Basically, it means that stations can split their signal into two or more different feeds of programming. This potentially gives you two different radio shows or songs on the same frequency (for example, 95.1 would become 95.1-1 and 95.1-2). • Textual information on your radio display. Stations can also send digital text info to your radio
