HD Comments

[Jeff Lehmann]

I wonder if Eli has a problem receiving the HD3 of WGBH on the Sangean?

Mine (the HDT-1X) picks up that one and 98.5's just fine. It does  
however have a problem with 100.7's HD3 at times, and almost never  
picks up the HD3 of 104.1. Some have thought that it is an issue on  
the stations' end rather than the receiver. My Sony S3HD behaves  
exactly the same as the Sangean, while the Kenwood in the car has no  
problem. Could it be that the Kenwood has newer HD decoding hardware/ 
software that is better equipped to handle HD3s?
