Audio processing not the issue. The issue is the HD side bands screwing
up the analog reception. The noise for analog reception varies depending
on what radio you use to receive the signal.

Most consumer radios have no issue; when you use an RX340 for a purpose for
which it was not designed, of course it sounds bad. Most listeners do not
have $5000 radios... most DXers don't either.

Like it matters but I have the same issue with the Drake @ $1,500. It
will be a problem with any radio that has sync.

What do you mean these radios were not meant for this purpose? Are you
turning into a complete nut case?

For example I can't use the sync function on my Sony 7600G for KKGO and
KNX unless I want to hear a a low frequency buzzing in the background.
This was not an issue until they started the night time HD broadcasting
where I would want to use sync.

The FCC did not take your reception of either station into consideration,
as, unless you live right on the ocean, you are outside the contours that
are going to get any protection these days.

Since I live close to the beach I get the best reception but inland
those stations do well on the car radio where I listen to AMBCB most the
time usually. FM reception is not that hot around here with all the
mountains just off the coast. AM usually offers better reception.

On the R8B and RX340 I can use sync but not side band selectable sync
unless I want to hear hiss in the background. Things will continue to
get worse the more digital mode is allowed to be used.

How much more can digital (HD) be allowed to use? It is authorized 24/7 for
AM and FM in the US, and I do not believe that there were more than 24 hours
in the day.

More stations could be using it. The digital side bands could be
increased in power or bandwidth.
