IBOC Article
"Carter, K8VT" wrote: dxAce wrote: "Carter, K8VT" wrote: There is an interesting IBOC article in today's (2 Feb) Wall Street Journal, Page B1, Column 5... There's nothing 'interesting' about IBOC at all. IBOC, like DRM = QRM D Peter Maus wrote: You're not the only one taking that position. There is growing distaste for IBOC among listeners who find the AM system objectionable precisely for it's noise. and This is nothing new, of course. What is, is that listeners are starting to speak out about it. Well, had anyone bothered to actually read the WSJ article I referenced, they would have discovered that "listener distaste", listeners "speaking out" and a discussion of "objectionable noise" were the main points of the article. However, in true "ace-wipe" fashion, he yet again fell into the trap that Mr.Jensen pointed out just today: bpnjensen wrote: [addressing the self-appointed "ace"] You might want to read it before pronouncing the messenger incompetent. Heckuva job, Stevie...same trap, twice in one day And just to get you up to speed, it's 3 March today. LMFAO dxAce Michigan USA |

I guess you mean this article? http://online.wsj.com/public/article...438087021.html Cheerio! Kr. Bonne. Yes, that's the article (and sorry for my date typo). I just read the actual paper so I didn't know this particular article was available as an electronic version. Had you REALLY been paying attention you'd have known that Gary, K4GPB had brought that article to our attention right here, yesterday morning. dxAce Michigan USA |

IBOC Article
"David Eduardo" wrote in message om... Actually, WIND had HD on when Salem traded it to Univsion Radio, and took it off after the sale. Univision was very happy with the HD system. How does the IBOC power allocation work? Does the analog channel retain it's original power with the IBOC channels added on or is the station's total power output (analog + IBOC) held to the originally licensed limit? Frank Dresser |

It is a separate digital signal riding along on the analog signal. Separate power. |

You realize if they ever turn on HD at night, DXing will be history.

Other people also fall into this group. Some advertising is regional and national not just local so distant advertising does work. -- Telamon Ventura, California |

"seperate power" might imply a radio station would have to seperate a portion of power from the analog channel for the IBOC channels. So, a 50 kW station would have to seperate, say, 20 kW for the digital channels and leave 30 kW for the center analog channels. Is that how it works, or would the analog channel retain it's original power with the digital channels getting additional power? Frank Dresser |

And the couple of hundred AM DXers left, most of whom are anti-radio and luddites, will just be SOL. I'm not aware of any anti-radio luddites, but if I ever meet one, I'll be sure to remind him to get rid of both his radios and his internet connection. However, to an Alex Jones SWL-type distrustful paranoid, Ibiquity's IBOC looks hidden adgenda-ish. It's not about "CD quality sound" it's about multicasting. So, if I've got it wrong, please tell me. Is it impossible for the IBOC-AM scheme to be used for multicasting? Frank Dresser |
