My reception is completely reliable too but you have to remember that the system was set up to receive only within the protected contour and not get all bent out of shape because bonus coverage isn't what you might expect. It doesn't belong there anyway, even in analog.
I am in the protected contour for both KHPT and KGLK. Both stations are jammed when a car near me is tuned to KHMX on 96.5. I have tried it in my driveway with my own cars. And two cars equipped with HD radio are jammed the same way. Jamming is up to 100 feet. When I get time, I will post a video of the effect.

These are only two stations on which I have experienced local oscillator jamming. When KRBE 104.1 had an HD-2, it was jammed whenever somebody tuned to 93.7 near me. The number of 10.4 MHz and 11.0 MHz combinations abound in my area. KRBE is full class C 100 kW on a 2000 foot tower over flat terrain that is 20 miles from me. I can see the tower lights at night. It doesn't matter. Somebody tunes to 93.7 in a car near mine, HD is GONE on KRBE. That is the same KRBE that used to have a handful of listeners in South Dallas, so there is NOTHING wrong with their signal. Somebody - really didn't think this system through very well. BAD engineering!!!!
