ibiquity AM hybrid digital radio provides little consumer benefits
Well, a couple of nights ago, I did a band scan to see how badly
IBOC was ****ing* on the AM band. I only heard four signals, two of
which were local (Seattle).
DX-ing is something which adds no value to the broadcasts or broadcasters
and has never been a reliable source of listening outside of it's protected
contours.
If someone wants to try to retain the ability to DX....and will do so at the
expense of fidelity....then it's a losing battle.
99% of all listeneing is done within the stations protected contours and
those listeners will recieve the benefit of added fidelity and fuctionality.
They argument that it affects DX is not a valid point.
