Default I hooked up my new Sangean HDR-1 last night

Could you tell me what area you live in? I wasn't aware any city in the
USA had that
many HD station. I live in a major metropolitan area (St. Louis) and
there are only
about 5 or 6 HD stations. I'm curious. Enlighten me. David N......Also
which HD radio are you using?

Hi. If you have any questions about how this radio works, I will answer
them in this thread.


Not interested - buying an HD Radio, is just supporting the HD Radio
Cartel, which will destroy the broadcast bands with IBOC's
adjacent-channel interference hash ! HD Radio will die, from lack of
consumer interest, anyway. Good going !
I experience no adjacent channel interference, even with strong HD
bands right next to weaker, analogue bands. I don't know why you are
spreading this myth.


It happens on FM, and it is a well-know fact on AM, especially at
night, with sky-wave propagation Why, do you think, the FCC has not
authorized IBOC, at night ? Good old iBiquity, destroying the
broadcast bands ! But, there is little interest in HD Radio:

HD Radio is just a blip-on-the-screen ! Only, a few tens-of-thousands
receivers have been sold - there is no consumer interest, in this farseJust a blip on the screen? I receive over 20 HD stations in my area

alone! Many of these stations simulcast more than one station. It is
a great pleasure owning a radio capable of picking up digital as well
as analogue signals.
