Not according to iBiquity, which maintains that the BA Receptor was
the best HD AM portable achievable.

Probably using the current chip design. Which is still not saying
much.

The receptor, of course, is not portable.

Supposedly they're still working on a second generation design. Maybe
they should have waited a bit more till the receivers were perfected
before rolling this stuff out on the consumer market.

We are headed towards a 4th generation chipset next year.

I see, so what you are saying is that it took them 4 freaking times to
get it right. That raises the question of just how good this 4th
generation is going to be.

No, it took FCC approval of the system for the genuine developers to be
interested. The original chipsets were as close to a prototype as you can
get and still sell to the public.
