    I was having a lot of trouble with my HD radio, but searched last night and found out there are actually different stations for HD. Without the right station the radio cuts in and out and was getting very frustrated.

    Yes, there are a couple HD stations that are a little marginal for me in some places -- it's solely due to poor reception. HD radio acts a lot differently in poor / low reception conditions than does FM radio.

    What do you dislike? Seems to work as good as the hd radio in my other car. Beats the snot out of conventional FM.

    I cant seem to get it to tune in on the HD station and even though I'm in a larger city, it cuts in and out. Most the HD stations have the -1 or -2 after them and I cant seem to figure out how to do that. Do you know how to make it do that?

    Glad to help

    FYI, even in a big city myself, some stations HD coverage isn't as good as others. And HD radio behavior in marginal coverage is much different from the old style FM radio.
