That doesn't mean there's no interference. ?It's amazing how the

receiving
a
signal once they leave a station's protected contour.

No, the FCC has made a judgement on how far and how long a stations
signal
would be protected.

That's the established standard. ?The days of clear-channels being
protected
nationwide are over.

Plus, to the average listener an HD carrier sounds like white
noise
&
they
think it's weak signal. ?Nobody thinks to complain about
interference.
They just move on to something else.

The large broadcast companies do engineering research and audience
research.
There has been no widespread complaints (if any at all), and there
is
no
indication that people "move onto something else".

I've heard on and on about how great the HD-2 formats are going to
be,
but
all I've observed is more lame cookie-cutter radio taking away the
reception that I once enjoyed.

THe formats on HD are quiite similar to what was on FM in the early
to
mid
60's. ?Music intensive, non-commercial, some simulcasting to improve
coverage, and mostly automated.

The audio quality is nothing to write home about either.

The public has had no complaints about HD audio quality. ?And like
the
qualities of MP3's, which is "nothing to write home about" either,
it's
"good enough" and the public isn't complaining.

But HD radio has caused us to adapt. ?My wife & I listen to web
radio
more
than terrestrial radio now, since there are fewer choices on the
dial.

I'd be interested in knowing where you are, and what station(s) you
can
no
longer listen too due to HD radio.

?Do you work for iBiquity, the NAB, or the HD Radio Alliance?

Is this directed at me?

Nope. ?None of them. ?I have no allegiances. ?I just get a kick out of
playing rope-a-dope with the HD haters like you. ?;-)

Now a question for you:

-Do you have a job?

-Do you have a life?

-Do you have a family...or a spouse...or are you simply obsessivbely
compulsively living in the wake of iBiquity and Struble? ?;-)- Hide

I love all of this attention! Typical of IBOC boosters to launch a
series of personal attacks, when they have no counter-arguments. I've
heard it all - LOL!

I love this denial of reality! ?Typical of HD radio nutcakes to ignore
the
arguments put forth and the realies presented and launch a series of
cut/pastes when they can't engage in a discussion. ?Post a& run!
