There's no sign of IBOC today on WJR 760 Detroit. Did they give it
up?

A local dropped it a while ago, also Clear Channel, so maybe it's
policy?

No, it is to replace some hardware. Many of us have changed
transmitters
to
better broadcast HD.

Better QRM? What a novel idea.

No, more robust HD exciter and better combiner design with the analog
and
digital signals.- Hide quoted text -

HD Radio/IBOC is dead, dickhead.

There are now over 1200 stations on the air, representing nearly every
significant station in the top 100 markets.- Hide quoted text -

But no one is listening.

The first year CD players were out, in the US less than 10,000 were sold.

Maybe that explains what I've been hearing on WTAM lately. For the past
few nights, I've heard a weird warbling sound at times. Last night, it
was gone. Since WTAM is also a Clear Channel station, maybe that
explains why they sounded normal last night. I hope the sound stays away.

That's not what IBOC sounds like.

IBOC is a loud hissing noise on adjacent channels. (generally on the
first channel either side of the IBOC station. Many receivers will also
hear it on the second channel either side.) So if WTAM were running IBOC
I'd expect a hiss on 1090 and 1110, maybe also on 1080 and 1120 depending
on your radio. I've heard rumors that some poorly-adjusted stations (or
radios) will hear the hissing noise on the station's own frequency as well.

The FCC only authorizes IBOC operation between 6am and 6pm. (if sunrise
is earlier than 6, IBOC may begin at sunrise; and if sunset is after 6,
IBOC may continue until sunset) It is rare (but not unheardof) for large
stations to violate these times. I have to suspect most such "violations"
are the result of FCC-authorized tests.

You're comparing apples to oranges.

I'm not surprised, as you are one of the Idiots Broadcasting On Crack (IBOC).

This was after 10:00 p.m. when I was listening to WTAM.

Probably not HD, as not in 6 AM to 6 PM or sunrise to sunset, whichever
gives more, legal period or in the experimental period. Clear is one of the
cleanest technical operators, so doubt a violation here.

The FCC is out of control.

Screw the fcc! Screw em ALL!,in my opinion.Used to be I could pick up
Detroit (they have a nice Yankee in Detroit) mostly real good at night
