Really?S S .. Their challenge is to sell any radios.

iBiquity is in real denial. *I went to Best Buy on Saturday to get
something and took a trip by the radios as I usually do. *Three Sony
XDRS3HD's have been sitting the display shelf for MONTHS for $199.95..
At one point one of them was sold but was quickly returned a week
later. *On Saturday ALL THREE were marked down to $119.95 with a big
CLEARANCE tag on them.

Sorry iBiquity but this is not the sign of a product that is going
anywhere. *You can spin it all you want but HD Radio dead.

Would you invest in a company like this???

- They need to come out with the 2nd generation radios
- that can also be software upgradable.

This is a very important feature in all-things-digital
especially with evolving new technology.

- I would not buy what is currently offered.

Oops - I Did and It was an Oops ! ~ RHF

- - -but- That will be resolved when HD-Radio goes to 4%
- - of the Analog ERP from 1% and hopefully I will be living
- - with-in the AM/MW 10 mV/M and FM 64 dBu Contours
- - of the CA Central Valley Radio Stations in Modesto etc.

- I hope that does not ever happen and if it does
- it will not solve all the reception problems.

Telamon,

Not meant to solve every {all} poor HD- Radio reception
problems.
-but- It will some many HD-Radio reception problems
and naturally cause a few new related problems.
-this- Will allow for the 'future' Next Fix to solve a few
more poor HD-Radio reception problems and so on
and so on . . .
-why- Each Fix and each Year that passes AM & FM
HD-Radio will take another 'step' along the path to All
Digital HD-Radio and the end of Analog Radio as we
know it.

- You do not understand the technology.

I understand what I understand
. . . and generally understand my limits.

- Realize that fact.

Realize That FACT [.]

I would not Argue Technology with You
-however- I would discuss Reality with You.

Telamon,

Sadly you could argue the Technology All Day and
Win Every Point -but- This 'thing' we call IBOC is
about Government and Serving "The Greater Good"
in a Commercial Free Over-the-Air Radio System
'supported' by Paid Local Advertising. {Capitalism}

Where : $erving & $ystem & $upport are all start
with a Dollar Sign [$] .

The Greater Good being the Vast Majority of the US
Population [Two Sigma ~95%] who will at least to
some degree; be better served by HD-Radio.

The Greater Good 'being' serving the Vast Majority
of the remaining American Audio Consumers :
Who is a regular Listeners to Free Over-the-Air
AM & FM Radio.
