"Losing Faith in HD Radio"
"I was really hoping HD would be the next big thing...now I don't think so.The signal it to weak. The equipment is difficult to set up correctly. Antenna placement is to critical. My 50k clear lost the HD exciter for 2 days...only got ONE call ! HD is a poor solution. An additional totally digital broadcast band is the only way to go."
"Don't loose the faith man! Stay with me!! Eventually HD Radio will be all digital. . All we have to do is kill the older generations, millions of cars with normal radios in them. . . Oh, and bribe the FCC to force HD Radio Standard on everyone."
"My 3 HD radios don't really work that well, the average consumer would have sent them ALL back by now. I truly want HD to work but sadly it does not work good enough to ever amount to anything. It pains me to say it but that is the way it is in the real world. I am only 10 miles from full power HD stations and it is truly a effort to get them to come in reliably. Don't fix it ...abandon it!. Start over with a new digital broadcast band."
"Yes HD is great..when you can hear it. The signal is simply to weak...How it that going to be fixed? I hope it can be fixed..just don't see how."

Now, even the radio-geeks are questioning the future of HD Radio - it's starting ! Just as I said, because the digital saddlebags are only broadcast at 1/100th the power of the analog channels, poor reception is HD Radio's Achilles Heel !
