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.
"HD Radio's Dirty Little Secret"
"Nope, the dirty little secret is that HD Radio's coverage is far less
than regular analog radio. About 60% of analog radio's reach even."
That is just not so... usable coverage is about the same for analog and
digital.
