\"\"<\/a>Many thanks to SWLing Post contributor, Mangosman, who notes that since a number of SWLing Post readers are in North America, he’s curious if readers could read through and add to his list of HD Radios. He notes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

There was a\u00a0HDradio trial in the FM band in India<\/a> early 2021. The report shows the receivers used. I wonder if they are currently available in the USA?<\/p>\n

I searched the receiver manufacturers\u2019 websites with the following results.<\/p>\n

It was not an easy task particularly for car radios so there could be omissions.<\/p>\n

HDradio’s list of aftermarket car radios<\/a><\/p>\n

Kenwood KDC-BT758<\/a><\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.pioneerelectronics.com\/PUSA\/Car\/NEX\/AVIC-W8500NEX#Tuner<\/a>\u00a0is the only current model of car radio I can find that will receive HDradio When you click on a particular model many of the links go to the manufacturers\u2019 website but not to their product HDradio is very difficult to find.<\/p>\n

HD radio’s List of Home radios<\/a><\/p>\n

Sangean. HDR-15<\/a>\u00a0is manufactured<\/p>\n

Sangean SG114<\/a>\u00a0clock radio is on the manufacturers\u2019 website but not HD radio\u2019s website<\/p>\n

Sangean HDR-18<\/a>\u00a0is manufactured<\/p>\n

Sangean HDT 20 Tuner<\/a>\u00a0is on the manufacturers\u2019 website but not HD radio website<\/p>\n

Sangean SG108<\/a>\u00a0is on the manufacturers\u2019 website but not HD radio website<\/p>\n

Sparc SHD-BT1\u00a0\u00a0Out of stock on the manufacturers\u2019 website<\/a><\/p>\n

Now,\u00a0Viewquest<\/a>\u00a0only makes DAB+ radios and not HDradio versions<\/p>\n

https:\/\/hdradio.com\/get-a-radio\/portables\/<\/a>\u00a0there is only Sparc radio which are all out of stock.<\/p>\n

HD Radio’s list of Portable Radios<\/a><\/p>\n

sparc-shd-tx2<\/a>\u00a0Out of stock on the manufacturers\u2019 website<\/p>\n

AudioVox HDP01A This company was renamed Voxx international in 2012 and no longer makes radios.<\/p>\n

Sangean HDR-14<\/a><\/p>\n

Phones<\/p>\n

Beatboy was an HDradio with a phone added. It is not a smart phone\u00a0 https:\/\/www.carousell.ph\/p\/boxed-beatboy-basic-phone-243342561\/<\/a>\u00a0a free give away in the Philippines. Internet searches of the Philippines broadcasts shows evidence of HDRadio but all the references are old. Considering that xperi charges broadcasters for the use of HDradio standard, I wonder if they have all dropped it. It is not mentioned on the\u00a0www.Hdradio<\/a>\u00a0website.<\/p>\n

On phones I found this\u00a0https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/hd-radio\/id333257742<\/a>\u00a0Don\u2019t get excited, look at the comments in 2012!<\/p>\n

If you can find any other new HD capable radios which are currently available to consumers please post.<\/p>\n

If you can help add to or correct this list, please comment!<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
