Are you able to receive KAMX in HD and KKMJ in HD and it's subchannels?

I was wondering if you are able to recieve the HD channels and subchannels of KAMX 94.7 and KKMJ 95.5? I have an HD Radio Walkman and can only recieve HD on 93.3, 96.7, and 103.5 from the Northwest Austin area. Is it a coverage thing or they stopped broadcasting in HD? Weird thing is I can receive 92.5 True Oldies a lot clearer vs my analog and digital tuner receivers and cassette player am/fm walkman I have. Ditto with 99.7.
 
The stations that are not broadcasting in HD is 93.7, 94.7, 98.9, 101.5, 104.3. Right now KVET and KFMK are not broadcasting in HD for some reason.

KFMK stopped when Crista aquired the station from CC/Aloha Trust. They used to be Spanish Oldies. But what about 95.5? They hyped a lot about their oldies subchannel.
 
I checked 95.5 and their HD is off. I am about 30 miles from Austin and can get the HD signal about 67-70dbu, They must have some issues over there. 105.9 still had their HD signal when they changed over to the new owner.
 
both 94.7 and 95.5, I am having trouble receiving not only HD, but their analog signals too in Kyle and San Marcos. I cannot receive 105.9 past Buda. Are these stations currently on low power or what? :-\
 
There was a lot of signal skip this morning. The interference could certainly affect the Hybrid Digital signals which are only 1% of the main signal.
 
Some failure with the master antenna at the "finger". Those stations are probably operating from their back-up sites/antennas. I guess 98.1 and 105.9 from Brodie lane, and 95.5 and 94.7 from aux antennas in Westlake that are not set-up for HD.

You are close Fred. The 98.1 backup is at Brodie. That is the old main transmitter for 98.1. The current main transmitter is on the American Tower site in the Westlake Tower garden. 102.3 main is still there I think. Both analog and HD, though CC has had a lot of issues with all of their HD transmitters and really don't place a lot of emphasis on them, at least locally, so they are not in any rush to get them back up when they go down. That is not an official position, of course.
 
KKMJ's HDs are back up now ever since their legal id states Majic 95.5fm is KKMJ, KKMJ-HD1 Austin. Can hear Oldies on HD-2 and Talk Radio 1370 AM on HD-3. Also KVET 98.1 comes in on HD1 and HD2. KPEZ 102.3 HD signal is off. KBPA HD 1 and 2 cuts in and out still. KAMX doesn't have HD.
