HD AM is here to stay. 100 yrs of tradition has been given to the
highest bidder and the consumer lost.


Try and find an HD radio. The salesman just looks at you wondering
what you're talking about.


The FCC says - "let the market decide". The market did decide by
little or no need for HD but that was just a smoke screen because you
get it anyway.


It's over.

It's not over:

While, God I hope you're right, don't count on IBOC going away
anytime soon. There's been a LOT of money spent, and a huge effort put
into this technology. No one is going to let this go easily. And RADIO,
often being its own worst enemy, especially, will hang onto this until
there is nothing left.

By the time AM Stereo was implemented, it was nearly DOA. And yet, it
took nearly 20 years for it to go away. And, though, noone has that kind
of patience, today, you can expect AM IBOC to linger long after the AM
Band is dead, dead, dead.

RADIO is determined that there will be a digital solution to both its
problems and its non-problems come Hell or high water.

No one wants to see this horse**** go away more than I do, but as
you've witnessed here, radio people can be stubborn.- Hide quoted text -

No offense, but you need to do more research.
