"I wanted to post and ask how my neighbors in Rochester, NY are doing
with their HD radios. I'm enjoying the stations, WCMF HD2 in
particular, but there are seem to be a lot of dead spots well within
the city limits. I take 490 in each day, and there are a lot of
stretches where 95.1, 100.5, and 106.7 drop out completely. Anybody
have experiences/opinions to share? Does anybody know about current or
pending power increases in our area?"
"Im not anywhere near Rochester, but your experiences are typical.
Some radio industry weenies are trying to push through a big power
increase for all HD stations to solve this problem, but until that
happens (and don't hold your breath), about all you can do is
experiment with better antennas and signal boosters. The technology
just doesn't work all that well in moving vehicles."

- Higher transmit power will not solve the moving car dropouts.

TBD ~ YMMV

- It might actually make it worse.

TBD - broadcasters will have to replace all HD equipment
(transmitterts, antennas, STLs, etc) for the proposed FM-HD 10db
increase - LOL!
Why would they have to replace the STL to increase power?
