Why would you ask "the wolf" Eduardo anything about IBOC - he's one of
its biggest shills. AM-HD is a total failu

SNIP

He certainly is amusing I'll sat that much.

Well, I am sitting but I'll say as much.

Really? Who is making them 6 dB man?

Look at the many reports on the NAB radio show in Austin and find out for
yourself. The chips and receivers with them were on display.

No, no! You tell me who is making them and point me to a link on the
manufacturers web page with the specifications 6 dB man.

Eduardo - Where do you think AM hybrid digital is headed? *Do you

No, I don't think it will become the norm... for several reasons.

1. Only larger stations can afford it and the antenna broadbanding it
requires for many AMs.
2. Few AMs in metro areas fully cover their entire market, so are defective
in analog. Digital just emphasizes these issues.
3. AM listening is declining and listenership is mostly persons over 55, an
advertising target nobody wants today in radio.
4. The big AM formats, news/talk, all news and sports, are moving to FMs.

AM analog stereo, meaning the C Quam system, became the standard about 5
years after FM had taken the majority of music listeners. Therefore, it
never was successful as nobody wanted a radio that got AM in stereo when
they already had stereo on FM, which in most people's minds, sounded better
anyway.

- If the marketing of AM stereo failed 25 years ago,
- it is unlikely that the same pig in a new dress
- will work for AM today.

d'Eduardo - OK so The-Bottom-Line is :
AM HD-Radio -is- The Same Pig In A New Dress
Conclusion : AM Radio is Dying {Has Died}
[ The Future of Terrestrial Radio is FM HD-Radio. ]

Since, practically speaking, AM HD can't add much in the way of additional
channels (unless somebody wants very low bit rates) and data scrolling
(speed is the issue) I do not see new revenue streams being developed,
either.

There is a very small number of radio factories in the world. The chips are
marketd directly to them, not to web surfers.

You are one funny guy. They are not going to sell any chips without
publishing the specifications 6 dB man. I surf and write purchase orders
all the time for components and equipment. You think I or anyone else is
going to buy something I can't find specifications on?

You are really outdoing yourself today.

You are not making radios in your own factory, I am quite sure. Otherwise,
you would have data on the chips, pricing, etc.

Why would Samsung spend money on mass marketing when they can send a few
e-mails and reach everyone?

Yeah that's right, I'm not making radios. You don't work in the
electronics industry, heck you probably don't work at all, so you would
not know.

Anybody that is a manufacturer publishes their wares on the web so
people that need them can find them. Email would be out of the question.
You would have to spam everyone or risk losing business.

Basically, if I don't know ahead of time where to go I search Google and
find what I need. If I have questions that are not answered on the web I
then call a representative.

All semiconductor makers publish their parts on the web. Exceptions
would be some military specific parts. You can go to Samsung site and
see all they produce. Last time I looked I could find the announcement
about making the HD parts and that's it. The parts are vaporware.
