To quote him - "HD radio is junk technology. It's a worthless endeavor and I won't do it." The he got a gun and the rest is history. Can't blame him for not wanting to do it myself. The news links you are posting are secure. I can't get to it. The SJ Mercury site sometimes requires you to sign up for a free account. But the link isn't secure. May have just got messed up in your newsreader. I'll repost he http://www.mercurynews.com/news/ci_11027673 |

The reality is the project can go forward without these people. No flames please. I know the chip business. This doesn't kill the project presuming the money still flows. I worked in one chip company where a designer got hit by a car and pretty much that killed the design due to temporary amnesia. He recovered nicely though. |

None of this matters as HD radio is dead anyway. Thank God. |

That's going to be a big help only if the radios work. If they don't perform at least as well as satellite, they're toast. |

This is terrible. Do you know why the test engineer went berserk? I can't believe the reason stated. If it was me I would just quit and work somewhere else. I have actually done this in the past so it's not just words. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

... The bandwidth that it might "screw up" isn't being used for anything anyway. Like most digitization, is is finding ways to use resources more efficiently. It is being "used" by a few hundred old-timers who still like to scan the AM band, looking for that rare and elusive "catch" from 1000 miles away. They think their outdated hobby transcends any attempt to make real use of the bandwidth. Mind you, their intent is not to actually *listen* to any programs on said station. It's merely an ego thing - they just want to say "I heard such and such station". People who actually *listen* to the radio are derisively called "program listeners" by the "elite" DXers. Yeah, spinning the dial to see what you could find was cool 40 years ago when I was a kid, using an old tube radio. But these days it is just silly. You can "catch" nearly any station in the world these days on the net. You might as well put up a TV antenna on your roof and go up and manually spin it around every time you change channels. Or would you rather have cable/HD/satellite? There is simply no reason for AM radio to still be noisy/static filled/fading/generally sounding like crap. If it can't be fixed, then it should just go away. If it can be fixed, then let's fix it. The current technology is 100 years old, virtually unchanged. Frankly, its embarrassing. No wonder kids today have no interest in it. |
