Well, look what John had to say about HD/IBOC: "NPR story on HD radio startup" "Problems with the system that pervade the entire HD/IBOC data and codec from beginning to end, all the way to the signal on the air persist. The codec, by today's standards, is grossly inferior on FM and literally unspeakable on AM (gee, I had no idea). Since they're hardwired into the receivers, they won't be changed anytime soon, if ever." "But it goes beyond that. There were bad choices of network layer such that reliability is compromised. The code used in exciters has a severe memory leak, so the exciters crash routinely. The receivers can be locked up solid by malformed packets, requiring a power cycle to restore operation. The list goes on and on and on." "Will any of this get fixed? Probably not, since all the money right now is going to promotion, not to technical bug fixes. This is a system that has been in development for a decade and a half, and it still has problems from beginning to end that range from audio encoding, through the transport layers, to the encoding, and now, with the spectral regrowth problems, to the broadcast bands themselves; you know...that which is supposed to be serving the public. I would love to be implementing digital radio. But this is garbage." http://tinyurl.com/2kbzsn Do you still think he is, "a good and respected engineer in the Bay Area"? |

He's quite prolific!!! IBOCock is not John Higdon, a good and respected engineer in the Bay Area. With all of my aliases and postings on the Web, you should have been able to figure out my name and quasi-location, by now. I could care less who you are. You do nothing but post lies (like your alias or sock puppet who said Emmis and Radio One are selling stations in LA) so I would have little interest in knowing who you are. So, has Univision raped your pension, yet? Huh? Companies today don't have pensions, as a rule. We have 401-k's and such, and the money is not administered by the company on a 401-k. We know who you are - that "fat boy" who works for Univision. HD Radio is a farce! http://hdradiofarce.blogspot.com/ |
