HD Radio

After receiving the HD kabel from Mitchell I want to try it with my CarPC.

Before I start I have 2 questions:

Do I need to install any other software or can I just use latest RR version?
and which skin is getting the most out of the radio.

I'm a little outdated on the skins right now, but you can use the HD radio solely with RR (though I would recommend installing Mitch's application to test it first).

On another note, I thought HD radio was only for the USA... are you just going to use the device for standard Radio in Holland ?

**seninha** · 04-12-2008, 02:42 AM

Correct. One guy from the Dutch CarPC forum bought the radio from ebay.
He already tested als stand alone, and find it very nice.

Now I want to test it within RR to use it only as a FM radio (Holland doesnt have HD radio

)

When you talk about solely, do you mean that i need to start the HD software next to RR??
Hope not because I just want to be able to control it inside RR

Digital FX 3 has an awesome HD radio skin =]

Thanks. I will try that.

But let me see if I get it right.
step 1:
-install Mitchell software.
step 2:
-choose HD radio inside RR config.(and if needed change com nr inside RR.ini)
step 3:
-start RR and ciontrol radio using FX's skin.

Is this correct???

Just installed my HD radio last night, and here are the steps that helped me succeed:

First I made sure i had .net 2.0 installed - .net
Make sure you have the newest version of roadrunner - installer
run "runme1st" which is located in your roadrunnerdir/HDRadio directory after you install road runner
Under RRConfig->Radio choose HD Radio and pick your Line used for Radio Audio...
under RRConfig->INI Variables add: hdradioport=X where X is the COM port your HD radio is connected to (save and exit)

And run road runner and try it out.

it should work after that. when i click on radio in my skin i hear a click coming from the tuner. that should tell you the computer is accessing it. I had a tough time getting it to work in my car computer last night. the way i solved that was a fresh clean copy of of Road Runner. (i had just updated it from a previous version). You don't need to install mitch's software program (although you can use it to test your radio out). Good luck!

Thanks xelz. Will try this my self

Mitch:

I was looking at the link you posted. There I see the HD interface.
Is it possible with this interface to use lets say the next frequentie: 100.8 Or is it a hardware issue and it just doesnt accept a even number??
