AM HD is a solution to a problem that doesn't exist and is technically flawed because there is no clean way to transition from pure analog AM transmission to digital transmission. IBiquity and AM broadcasters know this but they seem intent on ignoring the technical issues. You just can't throw away billions of analog receivers and get everyone to buy a more expensive digital one. The market just isn't there as most AM listeners just don't care. jw |

As Mr. Eduardo is so quick to point out, DXers don't pay the bills. So the industry as a whole is willing to risk something like IBOC to revive earnings. It's a kludge; there might be better options; but it's not going away soon. And that sucks for distance listening on older equipment. New equipment might actually open up new kinds of DX. We just don't know yet. IBOC = QRM, and Edweenie is a fake Hispanic! |

If the IBOC folks are correct, then lots of people would probably like to listen to power line noise if only they can hear it in digital quality. lol |

Mostly,the only stores I get to anymore are the food store, the discount
tobacco store, gas station,the Animal Health Products store (dog food) and sometimes the Sears store and the book store at the mall. I almost never check out the radios at the stores I go to which do sell radios because I know they are mostly junk and I haven't looked to see if there are any hd radios on the store shelves.I don't like hd radio. So, what is it going to be like for most people when their AM radio listening gets all messed up and they can't buy cheap enough hd radios at the stores in their local areas? (Katrina all over again) A few weeks ago at tvpredictions.com I read that there might not be enough hd converters for analog tv when that big hd tv switch over is suppose to happen on Feburary 17, 2009.
