Unless they figure out how to get HD2 channels to work in a moving car
there will be no viability.


FM HD2 channels work fine in moving cars, and the signals are stable out
to about the 64 dbu contour....


Dream on.


Between us all here, there are about 25 HD car radios in use... some in use
for about 4 years. All incidents of dropouts on HD 2 channels are outside
the 64 dbu contour (using a Longley-Rice projection, of course).- Hide quoted text -

"HD Radio: Still low in priority at stores"

"I visited a Best Buy the other day, and while I was there I stopped
in the auto sound department. He took me to the display wall and
showed me the one unit that had HD Radio built in. It was a model from
JVC. He said that others were HD Radio ready, but they all required an
expensive interface to add HD Radio."

"Is HD Radio going to be killed by manufacturers' desire to keep it a
premium-priced upgrade?"

"I just embarked on my twice-per-year online shopping trip to see if
it's time to upgrade my car stereo to HD. Saw a sudden shift to car
radios now being 'HD-Ready' instead of HD for a number of radios. This
appears to require the purchase and professional installation of a
separate, compatible unit. Anyone know why this appears to be a sudden
new direction and what this might mean for the future of HD radio?"

Right - they must be "HD Radio Ready" - LOL!
