I have a SPARC HD radio, model SHD-TX2. It eats batteries at a rate that I just can't afford. I've probably spent more on batteries since I've had it (six months) than it cost for the radio. And...it seems to have lost its HD signals altogether.

Anybody have a better suggestion?
 

What do you mean by HD. I thought radios were AM and FM. HD is high definition television.

Suggestion Buy a good charger and rechargeable batteries. They pay for themselves. That's all I use in all my battery powered devices.

Are you talking about a satellite radio?
 
High def radio. AM and FM stations can be HD, too. Used to be just HD2, but now goes to HD3 and HD4.
 

Beyond my technical knowledge to explain. Google in your friend! There are many HD radio stations in Canada, many in Ontario.
 
Yes, absolutely! And if there's a station that you like that has programming that you'd prefer over what's on their normal spot and they have HD2, 3, or 4, where they have alternative programming, you can tune to that instead.

In my case, it's public radio that's all talk and mostly all local talk, but their HD2 channel plays classical music. I far prefer music.
 
I listen to an FM station to hear the baseball game in the evening, but the station next to it broadcasts in HD. The problem is that the HD station bleeds over on top of my FM station making it difficult to hear clearly.
 
I haven't had that problem. So far.

Anyway, it wasn't my radio! For whatever reason they temporarily lost their HD broadcast signal. It's back now so I'm feeling much better.
