Do you understand english well? What part of KNX is strong, no noise or
static do you not understand? I'm not tolerating anything in the way of
poor reception. Full quieting no interference on a battery operated
portable indoors. Same good reception in the car.

Obviously, focusing on one station is a bad practice. When you look at
hundreds of staitons in many, many markets and find that nearly uniformly
there is no listening where the signal is below certain parameters, one can
conclude that what may be acceptable to you is not acceptable to the vast
and wide radio listening public, because they seldom can be seen to exhibit
the behaviour you believe they should.

Obviously, if such correlations of signal vs. listening spread across two
bands and all formasts, then there is something different about what you
expect from the radio, not about listening in general.

Since I am a program listener and not a DXer I'm not willing to put up
with noise and interference.

The one example is representative of 7 stations in my list of 11. Only 4
stations are 10mV/m.

3 to 4 mV/m is enough to drive a crystal radio for good reception.

Your assessment of the 10mV/m signal level density puts you at odds
with what is on the V soft page for a strong signal.

If there is no listenership in the city of Ventura I would say it is
because of the programming. Traffic reports during the prim time drive
that does not cover Ventura, Oxnard, and Camarillo.

The market is named Oxnard / Ventura. The fact that all other out of market
stations don't get listening outside the contours I have mentioned makes
your one market / one station example irrelevant. When stations of all
formats in all kinds of markets perform the same way, you can see that there
is nothing format related in this analysis.

The average listener will not tune in an AM signal that is below about 10
mV/m because it does not provide enjoyable listening, irrespective of the
format.

I don't see a problem receiving all 11 stations on my list. The radio
locator and the V soft web pages list them as strong signals. The only
way you don't get them on a portable radio is to put them in the antenna
null.
