Default HD radio is not the only IBOC standard - DRM is also

Digital Radio Mondiale is also IBOC. (Designed to operate in analog/
digital mode for shortwave and AM, and soon FM.)

Do you hate DR Mondiale too?

I think the reaction you're getting is really due to

1. Reaction to the marketing hype, which in the case of Ibquity and DRM, is
the bold faced lie of CD quality.
2. The way you promote the official position, as if you had a financial
stake. Regardless of whether you're just a bored engeineer, or a marketing
type lying his ass off, this is the way you come off.



I see. Well I wrote roughly half of the criticisms section (and all
of the HDR vs. EU DRM/DAB section) located he
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hd_radio#Comparison_to_EU.27s_Digital_Radio
----- I have also posted quite a number of negative comments on this
forum such as, "HD Radio AM should be banned from nighttime
broadcasting, until circa 2015, at which time analog can be switched-
off and HD can take over".

I recognize that HD is not flawless.




The problem is most of the folks on these groups think HD has
absolutely *no* positives whatsoever. They are biased towards the
"hate" side of the HD argument, and hate anyone (like me) who says
even the slightest positive thing about the standard.

They are the biased ones.
I am sitting on the fence (recognizing both + and - the standard).


If digital radio were instead marketed honestly with respect to the real
benefits it provides in certain situations, such as mobile, you wouldn't
hear all the animosity.
