mgl79 Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 On 2013 Edge the HD radio( when on an HD channel) the radio periodically loses the signal or cuts out and comes back on after a second or two. My first HD radio, not sure if this is a somewhat normal issue or not. Sirius sometimes does something similar in Edge and our F150. But they seem to be under trees, bridges or something like that. Wondering if HD has an issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c_bova Posted January 3, 2014 Report Share Posted January 3, 2014 HD radio sucks, not in the sense that it doesn't sound better, but in the sense that like you said it drops out every so often unless you are near a tower. Most HD stations are only broadcast close to cities. I turned HD off as I was tired of it going in and out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drpepper Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 I'm in the Phila sub area. of PA. I found back in 2010 when I got car- AM - specifically - KYW - had the biggest issues. The constant in/out was HORRRIBLE. Back then (2010 & 2011)HD radio if shut off for AM -it shut off for FM. The FM multicast of KYW was fine - but station is on a 30 sec delay for the FM HD2. I & others complained on forums ( here that akirby) & it was EVENTUALLY heard & now MFT ( most recent 3 updates) HD radio is BAND specific. I do find some HD FM multicasts are stronger then others & - YES- in hilly places & lower line places Line of site is more sensitive with HD radio but for most part mine works on the FM. The AM is a toss up & at least now can shut off & leave FM on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
