When you look at ANY station's modulation monitor, the excursion range
seldom goes below 80% to 85% and is clipped hard at 100%.

Talk radio does not need a large dynamic range but 6 dB seems to small.
It seems to me that the sound levels vary more than 4 X.


"It seems to you." That must be the IEEE "ISTY" standard for modulation
density, right?

6 db is not much. Good audio is more like 80 to 100 dB.

Not on the radio, where the ambient noise in most listening locations does
not permit that degree of dynamic range.

And you criticize me for using widely accepted and broadly syndicated
Arbitron data used by all significant top 300 market stations in the US,
but
you have taken on the job of being the standard for modulation all by
your
lonesome.

You are nuts.

As I said, if I am all you accuse me of, then everyone in the radio industry
and even its suppliers is also nuts. I tend to think that you, the lone
doubter, are the one in need of attention.
