Not according to iBiquity, which maintains that the BA Receptor was
the best HD AM portable achievable.


Probably using the current chip design. Which is still not saying
much.


The receptor, of course, is not portable.



Supposedly they're still working on a second generation design. Maybe
they should have waited a bit more till the receivers were perfected
before rolling this stuff out on the consumer market.


We are headed towards a 4th generation chipset next year.


It's too late - consumers do not buy radios anymore, cell phone
companies will not be interested in HD Radio because of WiFi/WiMAX,
and automakers are not interested in HD Radio.
