Again, if there were consumer demand for these radios, there would
be a deluge of them. Because there would be money in it. But there
isn't. So there isn't.

HD radio sucks because it is no better or offers no value to the
consumer who has to spend extra money to get it.

Something will have to change.

Yeah. HD will have to offer value over analog to replace it.

They should start with changing the lousy design so it actually provides
better reception and fidelity than analog. Offering different content is
just a diversion.

I forgot to add that DRM suffers similar problems as HD does where it is
no real improvement over analog. The consortium made similar mistakes of
trying to use the same band space as analog, not using enough bandwidth
to improve both signal reception and fidelity and so what might be a
good reason to buy an HD or DRM receiver? There is none.

Marketing without a brain or more simply "Frackeltonian Thinking".

A 'phased' Band Transfer Plan allocating 100 KHz
Section of a Shortwave Band = 4 DRM Transmissions*
per Hour per Band and Adding 50~ 100 KHz per Year
wouldhave made a better POA - imho ~ RHF

* DRM eats up more Band-Width ~ 25 kHz and should
be phased-in without interference to the Analog Stations.
