Default HD radio means Half Dead radio

1. Receptor is not a portable.He says it it.


iBiquity says it is.


Give me a break. It is one roughly 10" by 5" by 6" box, with a power cord,
connected to a half size box with the second speaker via a cable. The
battery in it is to hold memory on the clock and presets, and does not run
the radio. Together, the two boxes weigh about 4 to 5 lbs.

2. He lied about HD Alliance ad expenditure


Merely exposed your ignorance.


There was no expenditure... only contributed time by each Alliance station.

3. He is clueless about cost of going HD vs. normal engineering capital
items.


As are all the major proponents of HD, in that case.


For FMs, the cost of conversion in a top 100 market as a percentage of the
technical budget is small. For AMs that are viable, the same applies.
