"Porgy Tirebiter" wrote in message .. . Mistake my ass! It's the answer to the Beaner-Blaster AM stations taking over the AM band. AM IBOC sounds a LOT better than analog AM ever has or will. Regional Mexican stations are almost exclusively on FM, not AM. Hispanics, a very young grou´p. don´'t use AM. I for one am sick and tired of hearing "OOOMPA" music and dreaded mariachi crap at stoplights, emanating from a beat up Ford aerostar van.... In any case, they are listedning to FM. The Beaners wont buy HD radios. IBOC can turn a burrito-blaster back into a good AM station and a moneymaker in the longrun. Some of our stations, when we have added HD2 schannels, have caused every retail outlet with HD receivers to sell out. Hispanic consumer spendable income is just at one trillion dollars a year. Not only is IBOC making headway, but so is DRM.....getting big and working well in Europe. DRM is making no headway on medium wave. "Digital radio sounds worse than FM?" "In the UK the transition to digital radio means... it sounds worse than ever. At least for the audio enthusiasts. Whoops." http://www.hear2.com/2006/01/digital_radio_s.html There's the kicker ! |

"Currency Converter" 1 U.K.� = 1.9452 USD http://finance.yahoo.com/currency?u "Portable DAB receivers" http://www.radioandtelly.co.uk/dabreceivers.html "A look at DAB" "Interference on DAB is different to the type of interference you'll notice on FM radio. Instead of hiss and crackle, the symptoms are digital breakup (like when your mobile phone starts to cut out), or a sort of warbling, sometimes likened to being underwater. For information on ways to improve your digital radio reception, take a look at the BBC Reception site. Other tips for improving reception include: using a good external aerial, keeping your radio away from electrical interference, and for internal radios, keeping them near a window, or with the aerial pointing the direction of the transmitter, as high up, and with as few walls in the way as possible. Still no luck? Perhaps try taking the radio to another location (friends house?) to try reception in a few other areas. For help handling problems where there's no reception... Another option, of course, is Internet radio." http://www.radioandtelly.co.uk/dab.html IF portable HD becomes a reality, and we use portable DAB receivers in the UK, as a bench-mark, the price of portable HD will never approach that of typical $10 - $25 portable analog AM/FM radios, and will be too expensive to sell in-mass - the cheapest portable/hand-held DAB radio is $70 USD. Looks like, reception is also an issue, and yes, digital radio behaves exaclty as digital cell phones. And, DAB is FM only. |
