... Heard on NPR this morning WalMart can now purvey to you fine HD radios. Yeah, they have the Boston Acoustics HD radio and a car radio. The BA is still too expensive, AFAIC. I'm more interested in something like the Sangean HDT-1 Component AM FM Tuner, that plugs directly into your existing audio system. Mike |

What's the development status of HD programming? (Are they being
broadcast in most metropolitan areas now?) Also, is the audio fidelity as good as FM, and if not, what are the advantages of getting HD-AM?

I'd go with the Sangean HDT-1 HD tuner, which works nicely if you
have an external AM antenna. The biggest tuner ever made. Its clock sucks, losing 30 seconds a day, but fortunately is not used for anything. Very selective on AM, but doesn't have any controls you'd like for serious listening, like some AGC control. I use it with a DA100E active whip outdoors, usually. -- Ron Hardin On the internet, nobody knows you're a jerk. |

I have no familiarity with HD radio at all, but I presume it's digitally encoded audio like a CD. If so, one could record the sound (or data?) and play it on a more capable audio system for better fidelity. Just a thought. |

Both AM HD & FM HD have ( um, forgot what it's called) auto-station ID display, as well as program/song information display. Great for DXing! FM HD is about as good as CD audio. Many FM HD stations broadcast two HD channels consisting of different programming. |

"JimC" wrote in message t... What's the development status of HD programming? (Are they being broadcast in most metropolitan areas now?) Also, is the audio fidelity as good as FM, and if not, what are the advantages of getting HD-AM? Something over 500 HD equipped FMs are originating HD-2 programming separate from the HD-1 duplication of the analog service. Another 500 to 600 stations have just HD-1 duplication in digital of the analog programming. In my experience with a number of HD stations, the HD-1 sounds better than the analog signal, in part due to the lack of the 75 ms preemphasis applied to analog FM and in part due to digital processing which results in a less clipped and compressed audio if properly set up. HD AM sounds much better than analog AM, although there is no "additional channel" service available. HD AM sounds as good as a typical iPod or MP3 recording; it is also vastly less susceptible to man made and ambient noise. |

I did some shopping around for the full up receivers for home stereo use. Around 1k bucks. Uhh, not yet. FM radio is not worth that much, at least not yet. |

wrote in message ps.com... only lower-class citizens shop at Wal Mart, just like K Mart and any big- box retailer. I shopped at Wal Mart, at the beach, and I felt like I stepped into a thrid-world country. Of course, this is not true, either. About 1/3 of WalMart shoppers are what they call "value conscious" which is the internal term for middle and upper income consumers who buy staples at WalMart because they are frugal and like a good deal. |
