And that is the whole point.
At this end of the ocean the DRM consortium people really believe in a
replacement of analogue AM broadcasting to digital within "a couple of
years".
AM to FM took almost 40 years, and AM is still on, the advantages to FM
over AM are more spectacular than DRM over AM in a world where also FM
is available and the most popular band.
Actualy DRM is ruining the AM band and I dont like the idea of one
broadcasting band with 2 incompatable modulation systems.
DRM only causes a lot of noise on your receiver and is already
irritating the audience.

Digital modulation might fit within the same channel bandwidth as an analog
channel, but it's obvious to anyone who listens that it has much more
interference potential. Analog modulation normally puts only a small
percentage of power at the ends of it's allowed bandwidth, and that power is
intermittant. Digital modulation puts as much power at the ends of it's
spectrum as anywhere else, and the noise is continous.

Glenn Hauser has been reading reports from DXers blasting DRM. Among the
most prominent of these DXers is Ralph Brandi.
