Night HD is still not authorized. The FCC approved, but we are waiting for the publication in the Federal register for the FCC to give the go-ahead. KFI, for example, has not had HD on since their tower fell over 2 and a half years ago. Why don't they fix it? They need to put up an antenna like KNBR's. Zoning. FAA, etc. Still no permit to build, but likely replacing the 770 foot tower with a 660 foot top loaded one at same site in 4 to 6 months. Station will move to the former Montecito Heights KRKD location at low power for the time it takes to put up the tower. |

DE, I am only reporting on what the Blinking Blue Light on the Radiosophy "HD100" Radio is telling me. digital, Digital. DIGITAL ! - Is In The House ~ RHF The light may be flashing due to something else the radio is doing or picking up. None of the stations you list is currently authorized for night HD. And, like I said, the KFI transmitter is not even installed with HD capability.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - OK - Ring Ring Ring - Hello K-Mart . . . are you having a Blue Light Special ? ~ RHF |

That blinking blue light means you are out-of-luck, a dumb-ass for buying an HD radio, and supporting the destuction of the AM broadcast band !- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - ibocisacr, IBOC - Makes $en$e in the FM Band and the jury is still out for a few years as to whether IBOC will be a bust -or- the destruction of the AM/MW Band. Clearly for "Rural" Radio Listeners the Digital part of the AM & FM Broadcast Signal will have to be increased to reach the Listeners on the Fringe of the Radio Stations range. Phasing in and Increase of the Digital Signal over Time would ease the Transition to HD Radio. First Year 1% Digital Second Year 2% Digital Third Year 4% Digital Fourth Year 8% Digital Fifth Year 16% Digital A 16% Digital Signal should give a HD Radio Station a Signal Coverage Area far better then their present Analog Signal Coverage Area. of course that is just a dumb-ass opinion ~ RHF |

Based on actually working with 40 or so HD stations, the current HD signal, on AM, covers to at least the same usable and used coverage area the analog signal reaches, sometimes more. On FM, it also reaches the same area where nearly all actual listening happens. |

Probably 40-50 million people in the US would beg to differ. |

"HD Radio's Dirty Little Secret" "Nope, the dirty little secret is that HD Radio's coverage is far less than regular analog radio. About 60% of analog radio's reach even." http://www.orbitcast.com/archives/hd...le-secret.html |

DE - So your Answer to Rural Folks is let them Listen to XM or Sirius Satellite Radio for High Quality Digital Sound. ~ RHF IMHO - A 1 KW Analog AM/MW Radio Station which is only putting out a 10 Watt Digital (1%) Signal is wasting the time going Digital. That goes for a 5 KW Analog AM/MW Radio Station which is only putting out a 50 Watt Digital (1%) Signal is wasting the time going Digital. That goes for a 15 KW Analog AM/MW Radio Station which is only putting out a 150 Watt Digital (1%) Signal is wasting the time going Digital. That goes for a 50 KW Analog AM/MW Radio Station which is only putting out a 500 Watt Digital (1%) Signal is wasting the time going Digital. TV with it's finite end to Analog Broadcasting should be a clear example of what "HD" Radio has to do to force the Transition from Analog to Digital. . . . .- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - LOL ! If the FCC tried to force all-digital, there would be anti- trust lawsuits against the FCC and iBiquity, plus consumers have zero interest in HD Radio, so no one would be listening: http://www.google.com/trends?q=%22hd...+xm%2C+podcast |

This morning on his radio talk show, www.supertalkms.com 97.3 FM
on my radio dial, Paul Gallo said 81 percent of talk radio is conservative talk radio.Oviously, Commie Fascist Nazi Traitor trent lott doesn't like that at all.A few mornings ago, Traitor trent lott phoned Paul Gallo (Paul Gallo is as Conservative as anybody can be) and Traitor trent lott told Paul Gallo that it doesn't make any difference how many times Mississippians complain (phone calls/faxes/emails) his mind is made up about illegal aliens.Traitor trent lott used to be a democrap. www.devilfinder.com trent lott: Talk radio is running America cuhulin |

There is no 1:1 power comparison. Much lower powers are effective in digital. That goes for a 50 KW Analog AM/MW Radio Station which is only putting out a 500 Watt Digital (1%) Signal is wasting the time going Digital. Our experience with a number of 50 kw AMs in HD is that the HD is often listenable beyond the listenable and usable analog range. |
