I have no idea who the self-proclaimed expert Jerry D.C. is, but his
and other claims about poor sales and high returns of HD radios are
unsupportable now. Such claims will either be verified or dismissed
in the next 9 months which includes the christmas selling season.

I don't think many receivers will be sold at Christmas, 2007. The ones
out
there still bite big time, and the first generation of really good ones
will
come sometime in mid-2008.


Not according to iBiquity, which maintains that the BA Receptor was
the best HD AM portable achievable.


I predict another rough day for 'Eduardo'...


Nope, rough for Stevearino.

1. Receptor is not a portable.He says it it.
2. He lied about HD Alliance ad expenditure
3. He is clueless about cost of going HD vs. normal engineering capital
items.

Merely exposed your ignorance.

items.


As are all the major proponents of HD, in that case.

Give me a break. It is one roughly 10" by 5" by 6" box, with a power cord,
connected to a half size box with the second speaker via a cable. The
battery in it is to hold memory on the clock and presets, and does not run
the radio. Together, the two boxes weigh about 4 to 5 lbs.

2. He lied about HD Alliance ad expenditure


Merely exposed your ignorance.


There was no expenditure... only contributed time by each Alliance station.

3. He is clueless about cost of going HD vs. normal engineering capital
items.


As are all the major proponents of HD, in that case.


For FMs, the cost of conversion in a top 100 market as a percentage of the
technical budget is small. For AMs that are viable, the same applies.

Be sure to make this argument to iBiquity. I'm sure they'll be all
ears.

Oh, there were expenditures...vast ones.

You'd better tell that to the HD Alliance. Sounds like they're going
to learn a lot of surprising things from you.
