Hi guys, Long time no talk.
I hope all is well. I haven't been following this HD radio subject
so I have a question about it.
Will I still be able to pick up the same stations with my old analog radios
if they go HD?

Hi again
Lucky

Yes and no. FM HD stations wipe out stations next door. AM HD
stations make gurgling noises and lack high end. You cannot listen to
an AM HD station in sync selectable sideband, so your $1,400 Drake is
less useful than it was last year. And AM HD stations wipe out 2 of
their neighbors, on each side. Lovely.
