on 3 watts + 3 watts RMS with 10% THD?

It's 5 watts. I don't know why so many fear HD radio. It's going to
exist along side analogue radio, it won't take its place. I can't
understand why shortwave fans, who want to recieve all the information
that is on the airwaves, would not be interested in free digital
signals.

Because it's QRM.

For AM IBOC (HD) radio there is significant interference to adjacent
channels. If a station on 820 kHz is broadcasting IBOC, stations on 810 and
830 kHz will be difficult to hear due to the digital noise. For those
interested in DXing, this is an issue.

The digital method used for shortwave is DRM and uses less bandwidth.

Is it true that you can not understand a DRM transmission with an
analog radio, where with IBOC you still have an analog component to
listen to ?

Fear? HD radio transmissions are trashing the band. I already can not
hear stations because of that crap.

Recently, I was listening to an analog radio and found myself longing
for the digital signals of the same stations and also wondering what
was playing on the HD2 stations. However, I haven't noticed any
interference on either AM or FM. My big complaint is that at night,
some of the HD stations seem to get weaker and I can't receive them
anymore.

Correction: at night, some of the HD2 stations get weaker and I can't
hear them anymore.

Currently most if not all stations turn off the digital signal at dusk.

It is during the daytime I can't hear distant stations anymore because
of the digital crap.

If it's audio fidelity you're after, you just need an FM radio. No need
to fuss with this IBOC crap. This should be an easy fix.

I've been using the Sangean HD-1 the sound quality is good,on fm and
am.I live in columbus ohio area ,we have a few hd radio station most of
them are on fm,only 2 for am. Now on my analog radio 1230am at night
drifts, it low power station,but on Sangean it comes in great . of
course,i notice the station in hd during the day,at night it's not. the
only complaint i have is there a switch for news & music- is placed on
the rear of the radio,it's hard to get to,it should on the front. also
the internal clock loses time,all the time.the sound quality sounds
great. Robert
