I figured turnabout is fair play - and I had some catching up to do...
While excitedly waiting for your reply on where I may buy an HD radio for under $50, I stumbled across these comments at:
http://radio.about.com/od/opinionpieces/a/aa102506a.htm
"Folks, it's the same tired old crap that the major radio stations are putting out now, just three times more, and it does sound a bit better…It's obvious that the AM/FM stations are scared to death of the growth of non-terrestrial radio and it's killing them. They are just slapping some lipstick on the Pig that current AM/FM broadcasting has become and they're trying to pass it off as something new and trendy that the American public 'must' buy." – Ron
"...there is nothing 'High Definition' about HD Radio, and you won't find any reference to 'High Definition' on the website for Ibiquity Corporation, the developer and licensing agent for HD Radio technology. The trademark was obviously created to cause confusion with HDTV, which indeed is 'High Definition'...At a presentation to broadcast engineers, an Ibiquity spokesperson made it a point to tell us that the 'HD' in HD Radio should not be meant to infer that there is anything 'High Definition' about their product, and that it's only a trademark." - Joseph
Please tell me that it just ain't so, ElCheapo. I really would like to be a hit wth the ladies.

I don't know of too many things that cost just $50 that impress the ladies, but that's a discussion for a different forum. We're talkin' HD Radio here!

So, please tell me about HD radio's "high-definition" qualities. I hear that it's truly CD quality. A lady and I can spend the evening listening to sports talk on my favorite AM station in CD quality, right? How exciting!!!
Oh please excuse me! I just wet myself over the excitement of getting an HD radio soon.
Back later!

Good for you, ElCheapo ! I know that you are just upset, because Santa isn't bringing HD Radio to a store near you ! HD Radio is still going to fail, despite all the articles you posted - meltdown !
