Keefe Bartels investigation into HD Radio picking up steam - LMFAO!!!
Law Firm's HD Radio Probe Picking Up Steam?
Keefe Bartels, the law firm that's looking into whether consumers are unhappy with their new HD Radio car receivers, is hearing lots of stories. Whether legal action will result remains unclear. We reported on the New Jersey firm's efforts last week. John Keefe, a managing partner, tells me the firm is still in the information- gathering stage and has not filed a lawsuit on behalf of unhappy consumers — though what it finds could potentially lead to that from the personal injury firm. Keefe became interested in the technology when he bought a new BMW a couple of years ago. He says the dealer told him HD Radio wouldn't work but that it was built into the cost of the car, because the receiver was part of a package. He says the dealer threw in a set of floor mats to compensate. Keefe told me he heard the AM signal blending between digital and analog and back again in a demo. He called it "bumping," which sounded like upcutting speech, as that happened. The firm is soliciting comments from unhappy consumers regarding HD Radio on its website. Keefe says it is receiving complaints from "all kinds of people" and wants to determine how individuals have been affected. He didn't say how many exactly or go into details. Keefe, who describes himself as a consumer advocate lawyer, says he wants to understand if potentially faulty car HD Radio receivers have cost consumers money — from paying more for the car because of the package and then either not being able to receive a reliable digital signal or because there are not a lot of digital signals in their area. When I contacted iBiquity for my first story on this, they had no comment. It sounds like most of the complaints he's getting are from AM listeners. He's also getting an earful from radio industry people, so this should be interesting. I'll keep you up to date. http://www.rwonline.com/article/106152 SMS- I told you the investigation would escalate! Broadcasters will file a class-action, too! It's over for iNiquity - LMFAO!!! Time to put that scammer Struble in prison for major criminal fraud against the American People, and broadcasters! |

... There is an easy way to handle HD Radio, just say NO! Kinda like the war on drugs should be handled ... just make them legal, save us taxpayers uncounted billions, stop the flow of illegal drugs into the county and the bleeding of money out of our borders, stop the payments of $40,000+ per inmate housed at taxpayers expense in our prisons which support inflated prison guard unions, etc. ... and just say NO!

Regards, JS According to my contact over on http://keeppublicradiopublic.com/, Keefe Bartels has spent about 25 hours on the site, and I have also gotten a number of hits from them, too. Also, I am getting hits from many foreign countries, including Brazil where they are considering DRM and HD Radio. Struble can lie and hide, but now, there is no where to run. I bet his investors start pulling out, for fear of being dragged into court over a class-action suit. Radio World is obviously down-playing the negative affects of FM-HD, as many FM stations are receiving severe interference, too. I can see this escalating all the way to the FCC. I do know that broadcasters are getting involvded, too. Perhaps, the Courts and the DOJ will get a whiff of this investigation, and file criminal charges against all those connected with HD Radio for fraud. This has been a long time coming, and wil not go away, just like HD chearleaders claimed about HD Radio. Maybe, all of the unhappy analog listeners should jump on the clas-action aganst iBiquity for breaking all of their analog radios, especially the AM- sections. |

In that, compression algorithms covert audio into bit steams, which a digital radio receives on a RF carrier and decodes to audio fed to the speaker. I would like to see something open source used, in the encoding algorithms, like the Ogg Vorbis protocol, so anyone can create software to encode/decode the streams without infringing on someones patent rights, and so it is open source. Cheap converters should be able to be produced which decode the audio bit streams and produce a voice modulated signal to feed to old analog radios ... but then, people in hell want ice water ... I have a certain fondness for analog signals the fact very simple simple circuits can be used to construct a radio ... but, it is time. Regards, JS |
