Note: Although uncommon, it is possible for radio stations to experience broadcast problems in sending
their analog and digital signals. If you experience interrupted service on an HD1 channel, the signal can
automatically switch to its analog equivalent. When in HD2–HD8, since there is no equivalent analog
channel behind it, if you experience a radio broadcast problem from the station, you may lose the
signal entirely. This situation may be a radio broadcaster issue or loss of reception in fringe areas, not
something wrong with the radio itself.
