HD Radio Question

[HeliPilot]

I recently purchased a 2019 Grand Cherokee and a Limited Ram with 12" Display. If I'm listening to an HD radio station in the GC it will give me 3 selectable HD channels for the 99.5 frequency (i.e. 99.5 #1, #2 and #3). The HD radio in the Limited does not. It only has one channel for each frequency. Am I missing something here...Is there a setting that I have been unable to find?

I want to know too! I miss NET2 (NPR).

Don't you have to go into Uconnect and select "HD Radio On", or some such?

My Durango has this... the ability to show the extra stations or not.

Yes you have to enable it in the settings. What I had to do on my truck. Once you do you'll see the option for the HD stations.

I have HD radio, my issue is that the screen does not display 99.5 1-2-3 like my GC does. It looks like I only have one option under 99.5. Mine displays 99.5HD. Multicasting is not displayed. I did, however, accidentally discover that the truck is Multicasting. I attempted to change radio stations with my left steering wheel toggle switch and my station switched from 99.5HD1 to 99.5HD2 this morning. So it is receiving multicast, it’s just not displaying all of them at once like the GC does.

Would you mind posting a pic?

My 8.4Nav shows the multicast options. Above the frequency readout where it says HD) Radio after “buffering” goes away it will show 1 2 3 (if available) and the tuning knob allows you to select the secondary channels. Just make sure the HD button on the right side of the screen is selected.

This isn’t mine but mine looks the same. https://goo.gl/images/ip1CZE

I'd like to see a pic of HeliPilot's radio. Multicast... but no display of the multicasted stations. Not normal.

Mine displays all multicasted just fine?? Sounds like you have some odd situation going on.

This is what I see in my truck. I get 99.5HD1, HD2 OR HD3. My Jeep displays 99.5HD123 letting me know that there are multiple channels on 99.5HD in one display. My truck does not. I thought I was only receiving 1 of the 3 available channels for 99.5. Turns out, my 12” display shows only 1 channel at a time, but they are all still there.

That’s so odd. Mine def shows multiple channels. It’s at the dealer now but when I get it back, I will take a pic.
