can. More and more ``clear`` channel stations have been testing it in the
daytime, and once they all start running it at night, large portions of the AM
band will be devoted to noise (Glenn Hauser, July 9, DX LISTENING DIGEST)

Thanks to 'Eduardo' and all the other beancounting dip****s out there!

HD/IBOC = QRM

- Agree.. ANY way of filtering this out ?

No, because it apparently affects both sidebands pretty equaly. If one wants to
listen to a weaker adjacent channel from that running IBOC one is going to be in a
world of hurt.

I currently have that problem here with a station I used to listen to regularly on
790 that is now totally obliterated by the daytime IBOC from 780.

No can listen no more.
