Analog for All -vice- IBOC -vice- DRM -vice- 'other' Digital Standards - I Have Questions ? ? ?
For One and All,
Up for your consideration is the simple fact that up until now the USA and "The World as a whole has had a uniform general Standard of {Common Reality} of an Analog AM/MW Radio Band; an FM Radio Band and Shortwave Radio Bands. This allowed a World-Wide-Commonality at least in some Radio/Receiver Circuitry. Does the Digital Radio Future Offer the same opportunity for a World-Wide-Commonality in some Radio/Receiver Circuitry. WHAT ABOUT - AM / FM DIGITAL RADIO ? Will the be a unique Digital Radio Design for AM/FM Radios built for sale in the USA ? And a completely different Digital Radio Design for AM/FM Radios built for sale in The-Rest-of-the-World ? Will Digital AM/FM Radios sold in Mexico and Canada be using the USA Digital Strandards or the Univeral Standard of The-Rest- of-the-World ? Will Americans have to have a Second Radio to Listen to Digital Radio Transmissions from The-Rest-of-the-World including Mexico and Canada ? What is the Canadian AM/FM Digital Radio Standard ? What is the Mexican AM/FM Digital Radio Standard ? What is the European AM/FM Digital Radio Standard ? - - - Who Will Africa Follow ? What is the Japanese & Korean AM/FM Digital Radio Standard ? - - - What Will The Rest of Asia Do ? What will become of the standard 'portable' AM / FM Shortwave Radio ? WHAT ABOUT - DIGITAL RADIO MONDIALE (DRM) ? ? ? With Respect To - Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) will the next generation of built for sale in the USA AM/FM Shortwave Radios have DRM as part of their built-in Circuitry ? About - Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) DRM = http://www.drm.org/. Or in the future, will their be a new breed of Stand-Along Shortwave Radio/Receivers that are "Shortwave Only" with built-in DRM Circuitry ? About - Digital Radio Mondiale (DRM) DRM = http://www.drm.org/. GOING DIGITAL - Seems to be many paths headed-off in many National {USA} or Regional {Europe} directions where the World Wide Radio Listener is that last consideration [.] I Have Questions ! - Do You Have Any Answers ? ~ RHF |

RHF wrote: For One and All, I really only care about AM DXing; from what I have read about IBOC digital radio, is that the digital part is transmitted as both sidebands, so it really does affect the analog transmission, except for adjacent channel interference, because there is more energy put into the sidebands. I believe, that digital transmissions do not carry, as far as analog, so in the case of a pure digital receiver, it will still pick up the analog transmissions, once the digital sidebands fade. We should be able to use our analog receivers, even though stations are transmitting in digital, as many of them already are, for example, 700 WLW. |

Dear RHF,
It should be obvious that governments, maybe in conjunction with one another, maybe not, but certainly in conjunction with major media companies, are trying to set up a communications/entertainment system which is completely controllable by them - in other words, the ability to maintain total censorship over the meda, whether it be for content or payment. The media companies would like nothing better than to have us PAY each and every time we WATCH, LISTEN, or READ something - EACH AND EVERY TIME. Thus there would be no such thing as ownership of a copy of a movie, of music, or of literature. You want to access it? YOU PAY! And, of course, ALL governments would like to control what its citizens can watch, listen to, or read - even the most "benevolent" governments. Digital media give governments/media companies the power to do this. Can "digital" be "hacked?" Yes it can but, with the laws now in place, no one DARES do this by, for example, reverse-engineering, and, even if someone did "break" a digital code, he would DARE NOT publish (or even tell anyone) his accomplishment for fear of reprisal, such as jail-time. I'm not kidding about all this. It's happening right now. Europe was a "hot-bed" of hackers but they have been muzzled by threats by their governments (for example, Finland, on January 1st of this year). "Hollywood" has used threats of withholding access to its entertainment if governments do not follow through on muzzling hackers. You may be reading in the newspapers (as far as you can believe them) that our government has been pressuring the Chinese government to "crack down: on hackers in that country (and we all know how "effective" a Chinese crackdown can be!) and the Chines are doing just that. Mind you, I certainly support the right of a content owner to have a reasonable period of exclusivity in return for his/her efforts in producing something. But 95+ years? And I support a government's right to muzzle traitorous or terrorist activity within its borders (to a reasonable extent and presuming the government itself is not a "terrorist" organization) but NOT to inhibit/prohibit its citizens from hearing others' legitimate viewpoints. Analog radio/communications allows free and uninhibited exchange of information. Digital radio/communications does not. As always, my thoughts only.
