When the radio can decode the digital signal, you hear full fidelity. When it loses enough signal that it can't error correct, you hear nothing. Not all areas of the country have HD radio available, and unlike tv, there is no time limit for radio to convert to HD. The better way may be to put up an external antenna. If any of your radios have an external antenna connector, this is probably a better solution. The thing with HD radio is that it is all or nothing.

You have to get a special antenna. As far as better reception, I don't think so. HD radio, just like HDTV, is a different freq. than regular radio or over the air TV.
