The first full release of HiDef Radio: HD Radio (NRSC-5) and analog FM for Android with an RTL-SDR dongle, with a car-radio style blend between the two.

What's in 1.0

  • HD Radio on FM, including HD2 / HD3 / HD4, with station logos and album art received over the air
  • Analog FM in stereo with RDS / RBDS, and an automatic blend to HD that lines the two up and fades over dropouts before you hear them
  • Dongle clock correction, so dongles without a TCXO blend too
  • Favorites, media notification and lock-screen controls, light / dark / true-black themes
  • Signal details for radio people: MER, BER, quieting S-meter, alignment and blend status, a built-in FCC station list
  • A two-pane layout on tablets (720 dp and wider)
  • A faster FM demodulator on arm64 (NEON)

Changes since 1.0-beta5

  • No changes to reception or sound. The privacy text in Settings > About is updated.

Installing

This APK is signed with the developer's own key. The Google Play version is signed by Google, so the two are separate installs: to switch from one to the other, uninstall first (your favorites are not carried over).

HiDefRadio-1.0-build16.apk SHA-256: 7cecc9bda325a348e03819b480633b82c891b23d74a304e8f161a728e3af26af

AM: HD Radio stations only for now (needs a dongle that tunes AM, such as the RTL-SDR Blog V4). Analog AM and AM stereo are planned for 1.1.
