Costs to upgrade run from $100,000 to $600,000 - not small. Plus, the

power increase, if approved, will be staggering, as most equipment
will need replacing. Plus, each new release of hardware upgrade is an
on-going expense, with no return. Nice try! The same applies to those
empty HD radios that aren't selling.

- Don't forget that the NIMBYs will go nuts when they hear
- all the radio stations are going up 10 times in power.

Lets see an Analog AM or FM Radio Station that has
100% of it's Analog ERP as a Baseline.

Starts up the IBOC Digital Signal at 1% of the ERP for
the Analog ERP Baseline.

Now they would increase the IBOC Digital Signal from 1%
to 10% (10X) of the ERP for the Analog ERP Baseline.

What's The Problem : Seems to me that 10% is still
1/10th of 100% Analog ERP Baseline.
