HD Radio

[Negotiableterms]

HD Radio is a digital form of FM by Ibiquity. It's been widely touted, and widely criticized.

There's an interesting thread on it over in FM Tuners:

Good discussion of the compression used, and the reduction in bandwidth caused by multiple digital channels.

Anyone here have actual experience with HD Radio?

I heard it once in-store. I was not impressed but it was a noisey environment so maybe not a good test.

It had the cheap "syntho" digital sound.

This guy has a good broadcast insider blog that covers the industry side of HDRadio"
