I wouldn't presume that. Most ATUs and phasors are designed for the carrier frequency. The fact that a transmitter may also transmit audio sidebands is a secondary issue. This is unfortunately true, and it's also one of the more important sources of lousy sound for AM broadcasters. Low group delay across the antenna system really _is_ important for good clean analogue audio. IBOC splatter was certainly not taken into consideration in the design of nearly, if not all, of the phasors in use today. IBOC now requires low group delay across an even wider frequency range. My hope personally is that stations will be forced to upgrade their phasing networks and antenna systems in order to implement IBOC-AM, which will then fail, leaving them with wider band antenna systems that result in higher analogue audio quality. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.
