HD Radio updates only

KKBQ HD3 has been silent since at least last night. They have static text “KKBQ-HD2” in the artist field.

KPFT HD2 has been off for a few weeks or so. I didn’t make note of it as the HD2 is often off and comes back. This is the longest I’ve seen in awhile with it being off the air.

And I forgot to report back but KSHU HD2 came back early August.

KSHU, KHMX, & KMJQ still have delays between the HD and analog signals
 
I noticed 93Q HD-3 was silent? Just says KKBQ HD-2 on the text.

I noticed the other night the HD2 was silent. It did come back that next day though. I think they're just having some issues like KKBQ HD3

Keep in mind that some stations don't have HD equipment on an auxiliary transmitter unless they also have a revenue source from one one of the independent HD channels, such as it being the origination for a translator or leased to a religious or ethnic programmer.

The earliest HD gear is pretty obsolete now, and the economy does not allow gratuitous replacement with new stuff. Often, a station buys a new main transmitter and pushed the old one out to replace the AUX rig. In many cases, the HD gear does not survive the transition.

It has the HD1 and HD3 on though. KGLK HD3 is used for a translator though.

KGLK HD does seem to be off but I typically have a hard time getting HD without the nightly gulf tropos
 
KGLK HD2 is back now (or at least it was about 20 minutes ago - I haven’t listened to it since; I first noticed it back on around 3 when I tuned in again)
 
KKBQ HD3 is back
KHPT HD1 and HD2 text is stuck on a song. RDS is stuck on the same HD1 song. KGLK HD1 and RDS are stuck on the same song but different than KHPT. Can't hear the HD2 to know if that's stuck

KPFT HD went off last night during the storm and came back with no HD2. I'm done reporting their HD2 because it's so back and forth.

I forgot to report this because it was in another thread but HD came back the 20th. Also The Eagle had fixed their HD text I want to say that next day.

KKBQ HD3 is currently silent again.
KPFT HD2 keeps going on and off with a buzzing sound again. It was like that earlier. HD2 was back to normal for a few days but the buzzing is back

Some good news is KMJQ fixed their HD delay the other day
 
KKBQ HD3 is back to normal
KPFT HD2 came back yesterday. I’m guessing it won’t last long again. Also I wish the HD1 isn’t quieter than analog
