2) There is no such thing as "Hybrid Digital" radio. "HD Radio" is a
trademark of iBiquity Digital Corp for their IBOC implementation, and
the "HD" doesn't mean anything in particular. IBOC has three modes of
operation: hybrid, extended hybrid, and all digital. All three are
part of "HD Radio."


iNiquity wants to piggy-back on the gullible public's awareness that
HDTV means "high definition TV".

We b/c engineers know that HD Radio means High Distortion Radio.
