I think the latter, and not just in this instance, but in general. AM IBOC is for the birds. Nothing personal (unlike some others here), but you gotta get off this AM-IBOC kick. It will be the ruination of what still is a great way to broadcast. Bruce Jensen |

What is IBOC? "In Band On Channel", aka "HD Radio". A system for transmitting a digital radio signal "on the same frequency" as the analog signal. Actually, the digital signal is transmitted in the adjacent channels - for AM, two channels each side of the analog; for FM, one channel each side. For example, in WSCR's case: - Analog: 665-675KHz - Lower Digital: 655.3-665.1KHz - Upper Digital: 674.9-684.7KHz It's not currently authorized for regular nighttime use on AM stations, because of severe interference to skywave reception. Here in the States they're still working on finding a way to allow nighttime use. (possibly including simply deciding skywave reception is obsolete and accepting the interference) It's looking like the Canadians have ruled out nighttime AM IBOC altogether. |

In Band OFF Channel. Otherwise known as HD Radio. It's technically called In Band On Channel, but the real problem is that it ISN'T on channel, but takes up channels on either side of the center carrier. These sidebands destroy reception of adjacent channel stations. Some here say that these stations are not important, as they are not in the same market, and anyone who listens to them doesn't count, as they must be listening to those out of market signals and are not protected. -- Say no to institutionalized interference. Just say NO to HD/IBOC!- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Thanks. I knew that hash noise was HD Radio, but didn't know the official acronym for this was IBOC. I'm inclined to agree with the AM Broadcast Band DXers, it sux. However it's the future of AM broadcasting and broadcasting in general. So who are we to say we can continue to enjoy our hobby? Now we can hear crappy programming on AM radio in near CD quality. I can't wait to spend $200 + for a trashy tiny table radio just to hear it all, LOL. I find one amuzing thing though. I'm able to null out the adjacent channel noise with a decent rotatable antenna. It pays to have a good receiver and antenna to combat the hash. |

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. |

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. That's quite an income from mowing lawns. Or running AMD or Kellogs... |

Like you, it's one of the stupidest things to come around in the past 60 years. Actually, HD is under serious consideration in a number or countries in Europe. Next. I thought Europe was going DRM. -- Telamon Ventura, California |
