Default Digital Radio is not that expensive

Gee, maybe if some independant station can't afford multiple programming,
they'll have even have trouble justifying buying the IBOC hardware.


It's not that expensive. No more expensive than a mono to stereo
upgrade for an FM station.


For FM, it is about 30 to 50 times more expensive than a mono to stereo
upgrade; for AM it can be over $100 k if retuning the towers and modifying a
phasor is required.




Didn't just a few days ago (sunday), YOU say that an HD radio upgrade
is a trivial expense?
