I can't imagine, what you are getting so excitied about, especially after having made a fool of yourself today, and after your eulogy, a while back, pleading for support for IBOC and swearing that you would never return to this board (then you came back the next day, as we all knew you would). You have spent $600 on two Receptor HD radios, and had to hide your 7-foot dipole antennas, when Amazon has them on sale for $240. You seem to believe, that you are winning the IBOC battle here, but the sales rankings on Amazon for all the HD radios, clearly indicates that there is no consumer interest in HD Radio. People on rec.radio.shortwave are educated and have shunned IBOC, for what it is - a flawed and fraudulent, "technology", if one can even call it that. The BIG HD Radio rollout has been a complete flop, and only BMW is putting it in it's expensive 7-series, only because it is included with its GPS system. Radio Shack is the only retailer that has expressed interest in HD Radio and they are having serious financial problems (closed hundreds of stores and just laid off 500 employees). Obviously, you have a direct interest in the success of IBOC, since you install IBOC systems; I only want it to fail, because it is corrupting the AM/FM bands. And again, here is the 7-foot dipole antenna (obvioulsy, since I could only receive two FM stations in Best Buy, it needs a dipole antenna inside of structures).
"Recepter Gets Another Antenna"

From CCrane's Receptor HD:
"Note: The HD radio signal is only available within approximately 100 miles of HD broadcasts, but it will still pick up standard (analog) AM/FM signals as normal when the HD signal is out of range. You can be assured Crane is working on developing an antenna to increase this range."
