DX'n and HD question

J

jras20

I have a question, I do dx'n and I can get the HD signal but, on the HD-1 HD-2 signals I can get a stronger analog station on 2 steps down. Ex. 106.7 is in HD radio. 106.3 is in analog and is closer (more clear) and there is also a 107.1 fairly close by... Will I still be able to recieve the HD multicasting on 106.7?Thanks

Probably.Firstly, HD is kind of an "all-or-nothing", in that if you can get the main program stream in HD you'll also get any HD2/HD3 multicast channels. HD on FM is transmitted only in the *first* adjacent channel - in the case you cite, the 106.7's HD signals are transmitted in the upper part of the 106.5 channel and the lower part of the 106.9 channel. The 106.3 and 107.1 analog signals should not extend into the space used by 106.7's HD - indeed, if 106.3 or 107.1 go HD they still shouldn't get in the way of 106.7's HD. However, some receivers may not have enough selectivity to split these signals.
