![]() David Eduardo wrote: "Grundig_Tecsun_Eton_garbage_!" wrote in message oups.com... There are over 1000 HD stations on the air. There are commitments for several thousand more. It already happened. We shall see - many experts disagree with you. Like any change, there will be some who disagree. They are very few in number. There is no interest/demand for HD/IBOC radio, from the general public. Of course there isn't. The poromotion of HD on a massive scale just began and the 2.0 design spec receivers have not arrived at retail yet. Keep in mind that in the first 3 years of FM stereo, only about 100 stations converted. It took FM as a band another 8 to 10 years to become economically viable after stereo was introduced, and much had to do with government "forced" regulation. It took 6 years for portable CD players to drop below $200... and that is about $300 in today's dollars. Actually, many stations have turned off their HD/IBOC equipment, due to listener complaints and/or interference to other stations ! Name me 10 who have. And that would be 10 out of over 1000 HD stations on the air, and nearly 2000 licensed by iBiquity. Note: in several cases, HD has not worked with highly directional AMs with high Q phasers and old transmission equipment. That is a management problem, not an HD problem. Here are the ten and your "thousand" on-air is B.S: http://topazdesigns.com/iboc/station-list.html I wouldn't expect anything less, from someone who markets sleazy IBOC. IBOC will die - there are too many technical problems: http://www.wbdhradio.com/html/say_no_to_iboc.html |

Here are the ten and your "thousand" on-air is B.S: http://topazdesigns.com/iboc/station-list.html That list is woefully out of date, and does not include FMs. In fact, more than half the AM stations I work with are that are HD operations are missing... It is even missing important HD stations like WJR and KGO which are 50 kw clear channel operations. I wouldn't expect anything less, from someone who markets sleazy IBOC. IBOC will die - I do not market HD. I use it. |
