2018 Ford Edge HD radio no signal

not acquiring signal on the hd radio

If you bought it new and it has less than 36k it’s under warranty. If not, take it to a Ford dealer or car audio shop.

My satellite radio will do that every now and again I have to unplug the antenna and replug it.

Is there a chance that you actually mean the Satellite radio and not HD .

That is why I mentioned satellite never heard of HD.

There are High Definition radios and some stations that broadcast HD . Now if a signal needs to acquired I don’t know . But I find useing our iPod with our vehicle sound system is really nice.

That is interesting to know all I have listened to for many year’s is satellite radio. does HD have enhanced sound quality or what does it do?

I don’t know, conventional AM/FM/CD in my car, satellite in my truck. In the truck I always listen to satellite.

HD is a digital signal rather than analog. It allows one station to have multiple “channels,” say, news, jazz, classical, rock, etc. And yes, sound quality is better. My wife listens to the local NPR station on an HD radio that was a gift from me.
