In any case, HD sounds far better than any analog signal. HD radio
stations
will abandon analog and redirect the full station power of their
amplifiers
towards the HD digital stream.


Indeed. I just checked at www.hdradio.com. I had no idea there were
so
many HD FM stations in my city (6). All have a 2nd channel also, so this
makes 6 new stations in my city!

I'll certainly be getting a HD radio this year, and I don't understand
all
the opposition to it in this group. Is it just a case of old
farts/curmudgeons opposing something new? I *really* don't understand
the
idea of clinging to what is essentially 100 year old technology - analog
radio. Are some of you lamenting the death of incandescent light bulbs
also?

HD radio will happen much like HD TV did. Prices will drop until
Critical
Mass is reached, then it will take over. Once you see HD TV, you
realize
how bad the old system was.

It trashes my reception. Is that so hard to understand?

Does it trash any station in your market area in its primary coverage area?
Even the FCC understands that we are going to sacrifice fringe,
non-protected non-primary reception for the opportunity to preserve free
terrestrial radio.
