Regardless of all the hype about improved audio quality and all the
other nonsense, this guy was unaware that this HD FM transmitter was
having problems (and for months I might add) and when confronted made
some lame excuse about a bad microphone.

Now I'm not an expert but it seems that if your going to tout the
benefits of HD radio why would you let a bad microphone spoil them for
you?

Well, see, now there you go making sense, again. Stop it.

He's trying to tell you it's a small matter that's creating the issue
you've described. That it's not a problem with his radio station, that
it's a problem with a manufacturer's microphone. Not his fault.

I know, I know....it doesn't make sense in the real world. But I've
heard arguments like this at radio stations across the country. He
doesn't understand what's going on...so he's trying to insure that you
don't either.

It's one of the huge problems facing this new technology.

Radio was better when they had engineers.

"HD Interference: Not Just For AM Anymore"

"Radio World Engineering Extra dropped a bomb this month with a very
provocative cover story: 'What Are We Doing to Ourselves, Exactly?'
Written by Doug Vernier, the man who authored the technical
specifications for an ongoing Corporation for Public Broadcasting-
sponsored HD Radio interference analysis, the report is the first of
its kind to document interference between FM-HD stations around the
country. Using anecdotal reportage, some sophisticated contour-
mapping, and presumably 'early data' from the CPB study, Vernier's
article conclusively proves how stations running in hybrid HD/analog
mode can (and do) interfere somewhat significantly with not only
themselves, but their neighbors on the FM dial."

Yup, HD Radio also jams itself and others on FM.

I don't understand why a study is necessary to come to obvious
conclusions. This not a discovery. This was known from the start. You
see, facts never get in the way of an agenda. Why the emperor has no
clothes. What a huge surprise. What an amazing discovery.
