FAQs about HD Radio
HD broadcasting has come to FM 89! HD Radio (also known as "In-Band
On-Channel" and Digital Radio) provides a clean, crisp CD-quality
sound. You can now hear your favorite KUAR programs in a whole new way.
No more fading out of the signal just when an important news story or
jazz piece comes on! No more static, hiss or audio distortion.
Here are the answers to some commonly asked questions about HD radio:
What does HD Radio mean to me?
HD Radio is a groundbreaking new digital technology that produces the
highest quality audio available. With HD Radio, you'll hear crystal
clear reception and CD-quality sound.
How is HD Radio different from regular radio?
The new technology effectively eliminates noise, interference and fades
(also known as multipath interference) from our FM signal. If you've
experienced static on a standard radio at home or while driving around
town, you'll appreciate the clear, consistent sound HD Radio delivers.
What does HD radio mean for me as a listener of KUAR?
In addition to the crystal clear reception for KUAR HD, this new
technology will allow us to add secondary channels -- additional streams
of programming available on the HD receiver.
We will start by launching KUAR HD2, which will broadcast Spanish
programming, including BBC Mundo, the Spanish-language edition of the
British Broadcasting Corporation's World Service, along with locally
produced Spanish news and programming. We expect to bring KUAR HD2 on
the air before the end of this calendar year.
What do I need to get started?
You will need to purchase a digital radio. HD Radios are more widely
available every month. Kenwood, JVC, Panasonic, Alpine, and Sanyo are
among a few major manufacturers with car units. BMW also has a
factory-installed receiver available now. Table-top models are being
produced by Boston Acoustics and PolkAudio.
