HD RADIO FAILS TEST
According to reliable sources, a test, reported to Radio Shack, of their
Accurian Tabletop HD radio, failed to pick up a single HD Radio station reliably, anywhere indoors. HD reception totally failed in spite of using the extra supplied antennas, and with 17 HD radio stations nearby. Most stations broadcasting towers were so close as to be plainly visible from outside the test location. A second Accurian HD radio was tried, with similar results.
The normal (non-HD) AM and FM signals from all 17 stations were picked up crystal clear indoors, even without the extra antennas.
The building was a typical single story cinder block structure.
