Thread: Directed HD Issues

After adding a preset to an HD substation, pressing the preset would tune to the main station instead of the substation. Here is how I can reproduce the problem every time:

1. Tune to a local HD radio station with multiple substations (i.e., 88.7 FM HD-1, HD-2, HD-3)
2. Press the Next Stream button to tune to a subtation (i.e., 88.7 FM HD-2)
3. Add to a preset
4. Tune to another radio station
5. Press the preset created in step 3
6. RR will tune to the main stations instead of the substation (i.e., 88.7 FM HD-1 instead of 88.7 FM HD-2)

This is using Directed HD and Mitch's cable. I can also reproduce this same issue in Mitch's HD Radio PCR app and Centrafuse 4. I have already posted over on Mitch's forum and Centrfuse forum respectively but have not received any solutions yet.

The only thing that does work is the Commander/Display that comes with the Directed HD. If I plug the Commander in instead of using Mitch's cable, I am able to save a substation to a preset and subsequently pressing the preset to tune back to that substation properly. It does take a few extra seconds to tune to that substation though. I appears the Commander first tunes to the main station, then waits for HD to lock, then switches to the substation. While this is taking place, the radio is muted until the substation is tuned in.
