Phasing in and Increase of the Digital Signal over
Time would ease the Transition toHD Radio.
First Year 1% Digital
Second Year 2% Digital
Third Year 4% Digital
Fourth Year 8% Digital
Fifth Year 16% Digital
A 16% Digital Signal should give aHD Radio
Station a Signal Coverage Area far better then
their present Analog Signal Coverage Area.


Based on actually working with 40 or so HD stations, the current HD signal,
on AM, covers to at least the same usable and used coverage area the analog
signal reaches, sometimes more. On FM, it also reaches the same area where
nearly all actual listening happens.


DE - So your Answer to Rural Folks is let them
Listen to XM or Sirius Satellite Radio for High
Quality Digital Sound. ~ RHF

IMHO - A 1 KW Analog AM/MW Radio Station
which is only putting out a 10 Watt Digital (1%)
Signal is wasting the time going Digital.

That goes for a 5 KW Analog AM/MW Radio Station
which is only putting out a 50 Watt Digital (1%)
Signal is wasting the time going Digital.

That goes for a 15 KW Analog AM/MW Radio Station
which is only putting out a 150 Watt Digital (1%)
Signal is wasting the time going Digital.

That goes for a 50 KW Analog AM/MW Radio Station
which is only putting out a 500 Watt Digital (1%)
Signal is wasting the time going Digital.

TV with it's finite end to Analog Broadcasting
should be a clear example of what "HD" Radio
has to do to force the Transition from Analog
to Digital.

LOL ! If the FCC tried to force all-digital, there would be anti-
trust lawsuits against the FCC and iBiquity, plus consumers have zero
interest in HD Radio, so no one would be listening:
