Been listening to KDKA AM radio in digital. What a crappy signal. It
switches back and forth from digital to analog and during the
transition the receiver makes this screech noise that sounds lik/ the
receiver isn’t resolving the digital signal correctly. When in full
digital the high frequencies are so dirty sounding, I guess due to the
slow bit rate, that I have to ask myself, what’s the point? When it
goes back to analog the signal cleans up and sounds great. Tell me
again why would anyone want this?


Are you sure that your problem isn't related to the signal bouncing between
the Pittsburgh Macaroni Co. and Wholey's in the Strip then off the Roberto
Clemente Bridge and then ricochetting around Sliberty and the Sou-side and
finally ending up somewhere in Wilmerding?
