Kinda weird. Weren't they broadcasting HPR-1 on both frequencies for a week or so? Both came in very well. Then they switch to HPR-2 and it is more or less gone...
Probably something that will be fixed. Cheers, Kirt

HPR-2... is more or less gone...
HPR-2 started breaking up last night, then went off the air completely. I'm no expert, but since the the signal at 91.3 is clear and silent, rather than white noise, I'm guessing the transmitter is operating properly, although with nothing to broadcast. So perhaps it's a problem with the program signal from HPR reaching the transmitter? Microwave signal interruption? Just a guess...

In Keaau town we went from getting HPR-1 clear most tor the time to having HPR-1 less clear & HPR-2 not even strong enough for auto=scan pick-up...& since We have always (ALWAYS) used the news as our wake-up alarm & I like to keep the bedroom computer free ( computer =WORK) And the weaker signal fades more while driving, even in Hilo (not a computer option)
I dunno, we have always supported public broadcasting, East Hawaii has been teased with HPR-2 for so long (at least 7 years of thinking it was sometime soon), and when it is finally here, it seems we have split-strength between the 2 channels, rather than what we were told all year would be stronger signals for both...

Don't forget: radio is obsolete. Stream HPR into your car with a laptop and 4G hotspot.

Kalakoa, Not sure where your vehicle is traveling, but even IF we had enough data to stream our drive time & haul a laptop just to listen to radio that is built in to all of our vehicles, there really isn`t decent 4G service to maintain the signal, even in Hilo 4G (heck, most cell service) can be spotty!
ETA: pretty sure that TomK is correct (below).... but I do know there are areas of the country where this is done & many new vehicles are now coming out with WIFI hotspots... So if you are from there... ya might think this is a non-issue!

I get both channels at home very clearly (though HPR2 has not been on in am (5-6) near the sea in HPP. Also, on car radio from Hilo to Pahoa, so far.. 91.1 is gone as is any98.7, though. Anyhow, surprised there's so many bad reports. I am super happy, so far.
