![]() wrote HD Radio/IBOC will fail - VERY few are buying HD radios, and the FCC has not authorized IBOC for nighttime AM, so nothing to worry about, yet. If you want to learn more visit: IBOC DXing is rather fun. A real kick picking up an AM station broadcasting IBOC at a small fraction of power relative to the analog main carrier in digital sound. Having a DX station's call-sign displayed for instant station verification is pure bliss. So far my best IBOC dx catch with "instant verification" was about 500 miles via grayline one morning. Keep in mind that until the analog broadcast signal is turned off, the IBOC signal is transmitted at a small fraction of the power that the main analog signal is broadcast. So any IBOC DX catch made right now is indeed a remarkable feat. The night that AM stations broadcast in 100% IBOC only with full legal power will really be fun. There are a few AM IBOC stations that broadcast about an hour or so before and after their local sunrise/sunset. IBOC/digital DXing is no different than DXing other digital modes like CW, RTTY, HDTV, etc... All the whiners are just concerned that they will have to retire their analog R8 receivers along with their analog TV's to the museum. Hopefully, the IBOC decoder software will be made available in the future for free and in the public domain. That would make IBOC available for decoding on any receiver using a computer. Imagine the possibilities with a software defined radio such as the SDR-1000. |

They don't allow HD on AM after sunset.. That should help
"Tester" wrote in message g... I notice that a number of stores have BUY BUY BUY THEY MAKE GREAT XMAS GIFTS AND YOU DON'T GET A MONTHLY BILL FROM SIRIUS OR XM! ads for HD Radio receivers. So once there is a reasonable per centage of HD receivers will MW DX be a viable hobby? Will anyone outside the local area be able to get radio stations 10 kHz away if they live anywhere near an HD xmtr? -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

HD Radio/IBOC has only 60% the coverage of analog and causes adjacent-channel interference. To learn more, go to: http://www.radio-info.com/smf/index....ard,194.0.html |
