What's an IBOC?


In Band On Channel digital AM and FM, where a digital audio signal is
transmitted on the same frequency as the analog one, receivable on a
radio
equipped to receive the IBOC signal. IBOC was the develpmental name.
Google
HD radio and iBiquity, the developer, to read more. There are aboutr 1200
HD
staitons on the air already, covering most of the population of the US
(nearly 80%)


Are any car manufactures putting IBOC or HD radios in their cars?

Yep, BMW starting next year is the first. Ut till a few months (11/05) ago,
there was no design spec for receivers, so that is why there are few today
ant it will grow as we now have the second version of the spec, and furhter
development is being done.

I think you mat have already mentioned a brand but what would you
recommend for a home radio.


None. Wait 90 days for the spec. #2 receivers.
