So upgrade to a digital receiver. That's what I'm gonna do.

Besides, HD AM may never take off, for many reasons. Some are
obvious and some are more subtle. But HD FM is a great idea.

First off I do not consider buying an HD radio an "upgrade". I
consider it paying more money for another radio that gets what I
have now with analog.

Except that it gets channels you can't get with analog only.

My understanding is the same programming is broadcast on analog so I'm
not missing anything.

Second HD radio trashes my analog reception.

So upgrade to digital.

No thanks. I do not consider HD an "upgrade."

Third is the reason you gave, which is it will fail and I will end
up with a worthless HD radio.

I said HD AM *may* fail. FM HD is a definite improvement, and will
likely succeed. Hell, it's already succeeding.

I think HD will most likely fail.

Look, I realize I am probably wasting my time here. Most of the
"regulars" here seem like typical old farts who simply resist change.
The fact is, no one cares if it "trashes YOUR analog reception". So
few people are listening to analog radio these days that the losses
are acceptable IF enough new gains are made by going digital. As
with most things these days, you can either upgrade or be left
behind, wondering where everyone went.

Yeah sure, blame me for not wanting lousy technology badly implemented.
You think I'm going to let you cram it down my throat you have another
thing coming Mr. No-where-man. If you have a problem with old farts
then take a bath. You will smell better for it.
