The Wonders of HD Radio.

Just finished having a little chat with a general manager for several radio stations here in West Virginia. A few of them are transmitting HD. This poor fellow is still under the illusion that HD radio is set to take off like a rocket. He sites Ford's decision to make HD radio an option for '08 and thinks that other auto manufacturers are on the verge of announcing their introduction of HD radio as an option. I informed him that the local Best Buy has had the same two RCA HD-100 radios on the self for several months with no takers and that the local Ford deal was unaware of the HD radio option. How detached can these people be? It's no wonder listeners are dropping like flies. The interesting thing about all this is that one of the HD FM stations has a very annoying buzz on the analog transmission side that I suspect is being cuased by poor implementation of the Hybrid Digital equipment and it's been there for months. This poor fellow informed me that it's a defective microphone in one of the studios. Funny thing, it occurrs during music and remote network news. Who does he think he's fooling. It's obvious to me that he nor anyone else is listening close enought to discover the wonders of HD radio. jw Any asymmetry in the transmission/reception path will cause the IBOC buzz to be heard. A badly tuned transmitter, tower, receiver IF bandpass; anywhere in there. |
