- tshaddox 5y agoThat was my immediate guess as well. I almost always encounter this with music radio stations when I leave my parking garage and the signal flips to HD. With music it’s very easy to hear the quality improvement at the same time as the “skip,” and in my car there’s a little “HD” icon somewhere on the radio interface.
- wyldfire 5y agoOh, of course! Yes, that's a great explanation. In that case I wonder if there's latency in the signal -- like the embedded HD content is out of phase with the analog content? So maybe the problem is really just a defect of my car's radio when toggling.
- pipe2devnull 5y agoI think there is a little bit. In my car the difference in audio quality is really noticeable but if you don't notice an improvement then you can usually turn the HD part off so you don't have to deal with the frequent switching if it is an issue.
- jdofaz 5y agoThe digital version is delayed, the station is supposed to delay the analog feed an equal amount so that the transition isn't noticeable. In the early HD radios it was common for it to be way out of sync, but I haven't noticed it much in a long while.
