Eduardo - all three HD radios failed miserably. Nothing like first
impressions for consumers - no wonder, with repetitive HD programming
(even HD-1 is just a digital copy of the main analog channel -
whoopie) and lousy reception with expensive HD radios, this turkey
will never takeoff !
Looks to me as if the analogue tuners are deliberately poorly
specified to make the HD signal appear to be brilliant. Looks like a
stupid marketing ploy that has blown up in the face of HD Radio
Alliance but that's what happens when you let spotty yuvs & yuvettes
in suits run things.
It all sounds rather stupid as not many people actually listen to
the radio these days, it just noise to fill up the quiet moments
consisting mostly of crap throw away pop, raving rightwing loonies,
religious con men or sports. None of these need quality sound.
Charlie.
