"FCC to Consider Raising FM-HD Power Levels"


"Why would radio stations take the risk of degrading the quality of
their existing analog service in order to pimp a flawed technology
which nobody's listening to? It's almost as if the strategy of the HD
Radio Alliance is to degrade analog radio service in order to force
digital adoption - kind of a variant on the 'we had to destroy the
village to save it' rationale."


Stop the propaganda lies!


Digital HD Radio doesn't degrade FM analog. FM digital HD Radio is
superior to analog FM in every way.


I suppose you're still advocating for the superiority of vinyl 33-1/2
rpm records and the horse and buggy? What's the matter? Does this
hit your buggy-whip factory revenue? bwaHAHAHAHAHA!!!!


"HD Interference: Not Just For AM Anymore"

"Radio World Engineering Extra dropped a bomb this month with a very
provocative cover story: 'What Are We Doing to Ourselves, Exactly?'
Written by Doug Vernier, the man who authored the technical
specifications for an ongoing Corporation for Public Broadcasting-
sponsored HD Radio interference analysis, the report is the first of
its kind to document interference between FM-HD stations around the
country. Using anecdotal reportage, some sophisticated contour-
mapping, and presumably 'early data' from the CPB study, Vernier's
article conclusively proves how stations running in hybrid HD/analog
mode can (and do) interfere somewhat significantly with not only
themselves, but their neighbors on the FM dial."

IBOC : Side-by-Side : Digital FM HD-Radio Does Sound Better
Than Analog FM Radio To The Average FM Radio Listener.

Never Forget That : We are the 3%~5% of Radio Listeners :
Who are so-called Technical Experts and Distant Radio
(DXers) -aka- Radio Fanatics . . . [: RF Techies :]

BUT - Also Remember that the 'other' 95%~97% of Radio
Listeners are "Local" {Only} Radio Listeners who only have
a few Local Radio Stations that they "Love-To" "Listen-To"
-and- To Them FM HD-Radio does SOUND Better [.]

Better To What ? - To Them It Sound Better Than the old
FM 'Analog' Radio and other comparison is simply not valid
to them : FM Radio is FM Radio; and that is the Standard
that their Ears Judge [.]

Please Note - That these comments are 'only' directed to
FM HD-Radio and 'not' AM HaHaDoh {HD} Radio :---{{{{{

deal with the reality that 'we' do not count in the
great game of the am & fm radio business~ RHF
