I have to say that using 76 - 88 MHz for digital radio sounds like a
good idea. ANy objections? ;-)

Sadly, what matters is not what anyone says on Usenet, but what the
broadcasters want.

LOL! Then why do you spend so much time here shilling for iBiquity?
No, what matter is what consumers want - consumers never asked for HD.

I get a kick out of showing up your lack of understanding and psychological
issues!

Yes they did. COnsumers asked for more choices on the dial.....and HD
addresses that.

No. If that would be true there would have been no such thing as HD
radio. Or XM. Or music channels on cable.

Well it has Low Band PMR in the UK so you'd have to shift that, not that
it has many users now but its new receivers for everyone.....

It's TV channel 6 in the US. This has been discussed to death, but there are
still many stations on channel 6, even after the shift to digital. Some are
also saying "use the low VHF TV band to expand cell phones, etc." but that
would be very problematic due to the physics of antenna construction. I
doubt that people want to go back to having whip antennas on their portable
phones. Personally, I think if they dropped the entire 54-88 MHz low VHF TV
band, they should give a section of it, maybe 2-4 MHz, over to a
license-free public "Free band" where amateur broadcasters (i.e. "pirates")
could legally broadcast. Sort of like what they did to the 11m Citizens
Band.

BAD -ok- Where is the Profit [$$$$$$] in that...?

The US Congress Edict To The FCC :
Monetize The Spectrum [The Must Be Profits !]
Increase Business Revenues & Expand The Tax Base !
-?-how-many-lobbyists-do-radio-pirates-
-have-on-'k'-street-in-washington-dc-?-

Where as, Expanding the FM Radio Band for 60
'new' FM "HD" Radio Channels could add ~ 6000
'new' {Commercial} FM Radio Stations with
'Local' Advertisers and Increased Business,
Profits and Taxes.

That in itself would generate Radio Listener
interest in Digital "HD" Radio and sell new
"HD" FM Radios. -all-made-in-china-;;-}}-

More FM Radio Channels and Digital 'HD' Sound !

Who is talking about the UK -not-me-
The UK has 62M Radio Listeners -versus- 307M
American Radio Listeners [5X the market]

For the USA 76-88 MHz added to the current
FM Radio Band would add another 60 Channels
which would be required to be IBOC "HD" Radio
and have HD-2 sub-channels.

Presently there are around ~10,200 FM Radio
Stations across the USA which is about 100
per FM Channel spread across the Nation.
http://transition.fcc.gov/Daily_Rele...C-311837A1.pdf

So with 60 more FM Channels there could be
~6000 more FM Radio Stations in the USA :
Which means that all the present AM Radio
Stations could be moved to the Expanded FM
Radio Band 76-88 MHz.
-say-bye-bye-to-the- AM Radio Band
-hello- Expanded "HD" Radio FM Band
+plus+ Added in the HD-2 sub-channels even
at 25% of the total that's ~4000 new HD-2
Radio Stations On-the-Air.

That in itself would generate Radio Listener
interest in Digital "HD" Radio and sell new
"HD" FM Radios. -all-made-in-china-;;-}}-
