Telamon is your real name Kellie Pickler?

Go back and actually read the posts properly and maybe you'll understand, on
the other hand probably not.

My comments were directed at arrogant, ignorant people who think that the US
= the world and that HD Radio = digital radio. HD Radio does not and
probably will not ever exist in Australia, so nobody here has any interest
in it. On the other hand, Australia has been considering and testing DAB
(and now DAB+) for some time along with other possible systems like DRM. We
have also read with increasing degrees of amusement the pickle you guys in
the US have got yourselves into with HD Radio which is as good a reason as
any not to go down the same stupid path.

Now go back to your own little US newsgroups and discuss your silly little
digital radio system among yourselves and let the rest of the world
implement something better.

Obviously this needs explaining in words of few syllables.

The "problem" is that someone posted about HD Radio in an Australian
radio
newsgroup. As I understand it, only the US and Brazil have been stupid
enough to adopt the HD Radio technology, so the rest of us simply
don't
care. It's the people cross-posting who are the uneducated "idiots".
Just
keep away from groups that are not part of your silly technology is
all
we
ask and then we won't have to respond in yours.

Simple really.

You obviously haven't been paying attention to events there, have you?
Here's a link for you:

I suggest you scroll down where it says:

On 14 October 2005, the Minister for Communications, Information
Technology and the Arts announced a framework for the introduction of
digital radio in Australia.

The services are to be initially established in the six state capital
cities (Adelaide, Brisbane, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney) by 1
January 2009.

All national (ABC/SBS), commercial and wide-area community
broadcasters in those cities will be able to broadcast their existing
analogue services in digital or broadcast new services if they wish.

Further consideration is also being given to the adoption of more
spectrum-efficient technology for digital radio to enable broadcasters
to provide even better sound quality and new services. This may mean,
however, that the current generation of digital radio receivers may
not be compatible with the standard that is finally adopted in
Australia.

Oh dear .. ignorance reigns supreme in the land of the flea ...

Australia has selected DAB+. It starts in capital cities in 2009. There
is
also some consideration of DRM for regional areas, yet to be fully
considered. Nobody has even mentioned iBiquity's HD Radio which is a
system
only adopted by the people who put Dubya in the white house and Arnie in
the
mansion .. says it all really (and, sorry, Brazil, where the nuts come
from).

So which is it top posting ignoramus? First you post digital mode
broadcasting has not set foot in Australia and now you seem to know all
about it. You take the cake idiot.
