The Advantages of HD Radio: Sound Quality
Just as an HD signal on your television provides a crisper, clearer picture so does HD radio provide a crisper, clearer sound. HD radio operates off of digital signals which virtually eliminate the hissing, popping, and fading that are associated with traditional radio signals. The Advantages of HD Radio: The Stations
HD Radio increases the number of radio stations available to listeners; it can as much as triple your options.HD radio is often compared to satellite radio when consumers are looking for higher quality listening and a greater selection of stations. HD radio has the benefit of allowing listeners to hear local stations and radio personalities; something that satellite fans don't get.
HD radio however will have a more limited signal range than satellite radio as users must be within listening distance of the broadcasting station. Although users can always tune in HD stations where there are at any given time, they will not have the ability to listen to a single station when they travel too far from the station.
The Advantages of HD Radio: Fewer Interruptions
Many HD radio channels are offered commercial free. HD2 channels are designated as free from advertisements giving listeners non-stop entertainment. The Advantages of HD Radio: Long Term Costs Lower Than Satellite Radio
Traditional radio is of course free once you have a radio on which to play it. Satellite radio, on the other hand, charges a monthly fee. HD radio like traditional radio requires the purchase of an HD capable receiver/tuner but charges no subscription fee. It is important to realize that the typical radio cannot pick up HD signals thus an HD capable radio is necessary. Prices vary widely but can be as low as $100. HD Radio Stations

- My son has a HD radio in his car. He loves to listen to talk radio while driving back to Charleston every weekend and couldn't pick up the station with a regular radio.
My husband wants one. I may get him one for his birthday. I don't know.
Me. Unless I'm driving a long distance, I drive in silence. Its my best thinking time.
Great lens.
