Radio Professionals show immaturity, derail HD technical dicussion.

[Tom Wells]

Greetings Radio Info readers,

In bad faith, several radio professionals have cashed in their credibility and exposed the faults of HD AM by derailing a very
pointed question regarding the HD AM. I am shocked, just shocked.

I invite you to witness this record of immaturity in the "Take it Outside", as referenced in another topic.
I was in fair debate of the crux of the issue, regarding the host's degraded AM audio.
It shows how clear, fair questions find ibiquity hiding behind repeated citings of "no problem" and "legality".


The question, which they refused to answer:

Does the full NRSC 9khz AM analog modulation cause the bitsream to drop decoding?
And that is the reason why the leftover analog must be limited to 5khz?

I will even accept "don't know, but I'm checking on that."
And you'd better come back with something other than the fallbacks of legality and no problem.

Do I need to send personal e-mails with check-the answer forms?

If you cite legality or say anything remotely like "no problem" you are in excuse mode.
Any professional engineer willing to step up.....

You have the podium.

If you want to have a thread discussing the bandwidth limiting of HD AM stations, that's fine.

To title the thread "Radio Professionals show immaturity, derail HD technical dicussion" displays a lot of immaturity.

You after all are the one who brought Hitler into the other discussion of the same subject. Real mature move.

To answer your question though, I have no idea. Here's an analogy though. Very few guys design directional arrays. A lot of guys that have no idea about the math that went into making them work in the first place maintain them.

I suspect it's similar to how DSL works over phone lines. You have bandwidth limited audio and a lot of unused frequencies up to the frequencies where the data starts. Why? To prevent interference between the analog and digital.

I'm sure your theory is that it's something dark and nefarious, but since most modern radios don't do better than 5K anyway, it's really a moot point.

How original! When actually bankrupt HD Cotillion fails yet again to convince even simpletons with their technical misrepresentations and skewed statistics, they fall back on moralizing. All who dare question iBLOC are deemed 'immature'. Aren't they tiresome?

TeamBLOC exerted undue influence to gain their ends. We accept their rude behavior even in victory. So why do they keep protesting HD's virtues? They won. Why do they continue to seek our approval?

The 'Five Kilohertz Guy', a BigKorpseKaster employee, cut analog bandwidth so as to draw digital 'outrigger sidebands' closer to center freq, thus in theory - not in reality -reduce adjacents interference.

Do his actions constitute an admission of interference? Many see it as just that.

There's another reason for cutting analog bandwidth, as many see it. In keeping with HD's tradition of behaving manipulatively, first reduce analog quality to fatiguing levels. Reply to listener inquiries by telling them their 'analog radio's detector is defective and must be replaced with HD stooge-radio'.


They think of everything, don't they?

The person who started this thread, accused those of us who actually work in radio of immaturity, after saying HD Radio is a Hitler-esque governent plot in another thread.

I remember a tired old cliché that fits this situation perfectly. Surely you've heard it - the one about glass houses and stones.

What's tiresome is the perpetual flame-war that this forum has become. There is no mature, rational discussion on either side, though I have to think anyone who isn't actively involved and just happened by the forum would probably think the anti-HD crowd is a bit less reasoned than the pro-HD side.

After all, we don't use made up words like "BigKorpseKaster" and we're classy enough to not bring out Hitler comparisons.

Well, yes the AM analog bandwidth rollback to 5khz helps put small guardbands for the IBOC sidebands. Uf you look at the IBOC generated spectrum, you will see slight spaces between the IBOC sidebands and the analog splatter. The analog splatter can go out to 7khz (in one IBOC mode) but, I believe, anything over starts to hurt the digital, reason for the pullback in audio response. Anyone seen distortion or separation curves on AM or FM HD?

Interesting tests on FM IBOC: If you take a (-30db) test signal (modulated) and put out at 100khz (on either side) of an IBOC FM station you get a JVC HD1 receiver to HD mute, at 200khz the signal also mutes HD, at about 360khz it starts not to interfere. If you put the small test signal right on carrier channel, the analog mutes, of course, but the digital HD and HD-2 signals come back but has some strange audio fades. Thought this may the reason why some HD FM stations that are 2nd adjacent channels to fairly strong in market stations have reduced HD coverage. Even one side with an interfering stations seems to start to reduce HD coverage. GREATLY dependent on type of receiver, of course.....but there aren't that many "types" out there right now.

"Thought this may the reason why some HD FM stations that are 2nd adjacent channels to fairly strong in market stations have reduced HD coverage. Even one side with an interfering stations seems to start to reduce HD coverage."


in my region we have a station on 101.5 Mhz (non IBOC and about 80 miles from my house) in between 101.1 and 101.9 Mhz (Both IBOC stations about 25 miles from my house) and with the Sangean I have no trouble with any of them. I posted a demo of it a few weeks ago. We also have a 92.7 IBOC with a 93.1 non IBOC and both are completely interference free. In Westchester, there's a 93.5 which is perfectly clear at my house and yet it's second adjacent to 93.9 WNYC running 3 HD streams and on and on all the way up to 107.9 Mhz. I guess the laws of physics don't apply at my house.

Originator of this thread, elsewhere stated HD is Hitler-esque? Stalinesque is more like it. Eastern Bloc jamming is vintage Soviet methodology.

HD promoters mislead reporters, keep citizens in the dark, coerce broadcasters, and moralistically condemn all who dare question their cherished FrankenBLOC. Do heavy handed Soviet style tactics well complement their Soviet style jammer? Yes, like a hand in a glove.

Don't like my use of BigKorpseorate? Who cares? It's called freedom of speech. Quit whining. During the Rotten 90s, when Victim anthems gained many lowlives their ends, Korpsekasters pronounced radio 'moribund'. Solution? iBLOC. 'Moribund' aptly described their lifeless, stilted, programs. KorpseKasters are what's wrong, not modulation. Audiences won't be fooled by the same old dried-out horse-plop flung at them with a digital shovel.

BigKorpseorate uses HD jamming to deny citizens their right to hear what they wish when they wish. Why deny it? Even TeamBLOC admits people will lose their favorite stations to Eastern Bloc jamming, but they can now hear streams? Small comfort.

Why won't BigKorpseorate admit this is a backdoor grab of citizens' airwaves? HD was hatched during the 90s, when moribund 60s command economy ghouls schemed to seize the promised land for themselves, wasn't it?

Many engineers at first supported HD. Others were skeptical and were coerced into silence by HD goons. What does that tell us? Now they're speaking out. Many purchased HD stooge-radios with their own funds, and returned them. Why blame the radios? Engineers state HD is built upon fatally flawed premises. Try to 'make it work' all you wish. It won't.

Engineers and consumers can't hear digital AM or FM, even when they can see the tower, and the analog blasts in - and that's when they use the 'thirty dollar antenna'. What next?

Will TeamBLOC propose fifty-foot masts for BMW HD FM? Trailing wires for AM? HD doesn't work. Consumers don't want it. Does Stooge Pavillion believe shrieking noise while squatting on public airwaves will win - so to speak - listeners by attrition? What's wrong with them?

Why vainly try to marginalize critics as 'DX'ers'? Spare us. Long range GE Superradios, among many, allow consumers to hear many stations. Do Mr. Gleason and his peers propose to take that right from consumers with HD stooge-radio? They've a task ahead of them.

And this garbage re: 'no right listening to out of contour stations'? Isn't that avintage Soviet diktat? Rings about as true as telling people they can't have outdoor TV antennas, because watching out of town stations hurts their locals.

Can you imagine if TV stations spewed that bullshale in the face of cable and satellite TV companies? Isn't TeamBOC a bunch of flea-bitten diahrretic dogs in the manger?

Do HD goonsquads understand that wrapping putrid lies in layers of putrescent pieties will fool the citizens not one iota? Citizens view them as pimping a manipulative 'carny scam'.

TeamBLOC used nefarious means to secure a stooge victory. They should savor it now, and forget about seeking our approval, let alone that of the citizens. The future is bright.

How original!

Originality isn't all that important. If it were, your made up words and language wouldn't make YOU look like a simpleton.

Things like...

When actually bankrupt

Wrong, there is no bankruptcy.

HD Cotillion

You're proud of this aren't you. Not cartel, mind you but Cotillion. When in doubt. just make up definitions. Everyone is starting to understand you.

fails yet again to convince even simpletons with their technical misrepresentations and skewed statistics, they fall back on moralizing. All who dare question iBLOC are deemed 'immature'. Aren't they tiresome?

Right. Except the quote was...

The person who started this thread, accused those of us who actually work in radio of immaturity, after saying HD Radio is a Hitler-esque governent plot in another thread.

Don't let what is real get in the way. You're on a roll. (Where's John Belushi)

TeamBLOC

Good...

exerted undue influence to gain their ends.

More baseless allegations. You post like this like you have first hand knowledge. You misrepresented YOUR situation and later when researched everyon finds out you concern is with Fringe reception of distant stations Some even out of the country. Which Might make sense if you didn't live on the West Coast of Florida.

We accept their rude behavior even in victory. So why do they keep protesting HD's virtues? They won. Why do they continue to seek our approval?

Frankly, Doc, I have not seen one post on this board that even intimates it's looking for your approval.
Most just point out the lunacy and invalidity of your complaints or your excessive use of the language I'm calling MANASOTAESE

The 'Five Kilohertz Guy', a BigKorpseKaster employee, cut analog bandwidth so as to draw digital 'outrigger sidebands' closer to center freq, thus in theory - not in reality -reduce adjacents interference.

This is the reason why people KNOW your're radically misinformed. If we accept your premise that the 'outrigger sidebands' were moved closer then we would have to accept the resulting lower level of adjacent interference. Let's carry this to either extreme. If we moved them "Outward" from the carrier to say 500 KHz then AM 1100 would interfere with AM 610 and AM 1600. Furthur away equals more interference.

Conversely, lets put them directly on the carrier. Nothing outside the NTSC AM mask. Not one thing. None of the adjacent "JAMMING" you love to cite would be possible. It's just not possible.

Again... you said...

The 'Five Kilohertz Guy', ... cut analog bandwidth so as to draw digital 'outrigger sidebands' closer to center freq, thus in theory - not in reality -reduce adjacents interference.

This is the most concrete example of why you don't have a clue.

Do his actions constitute an admission of interference? Many see it as just that.

Hey, Sherlock, I don't think you really discovered the smoking gun here. Last time I checked we ALREADY KNEW the digital information was transmitted on the 1st adjacent. This may be a newsflash to YOU, but the rest of us already know.

There's another reason for cutting analog bandwidth, as many see it. In keeping with HD's tradition of behaving manipulatively, first reduce analog quality to fatiguing levels. Reply to listener inquiries by telling them their 'analog radio's detector is defective and must be replaced with HD stooge-radio'.

RIGHT... It's clearly not about better sound, it's all about getting you to buy a new radio. Man your right. If they had turned off the AM Carrier, everyone would have to convert today. Too bad the "Cotillion" missed that one.

Here's a heads up to the readers. When you see the term

"stooge-radio"

that's code for "Poster needed to make a point and didn't have one."

They think of everything, don't they?

Everything but that tin foil hat dispenser for you. Bye now...

[clouseau]

Good God, DOC. It's 9:30 AM where you are.

Go to bed and sleep it off.

One of the things we say at work is

"Well it's only radio. People aren't supposed to die".

Seriously, Get some perspective.

I wish you well..

Dear friends of legitimate radio -

Off to the Werk Kamps with me, eh? Inspector "J'accuse-oh!" has me on the ropes, yes?

"Made up words"? Don't cheerleaders' repeated objections to 'made up words' prove they get the point? Does use of sitcom slogans, a la 'tinfoil hat', tell us a thing or two? How original.


Did Watergate finish Richard Nixon? No, it was, "The coverup."
Why did FBI and CIA suspect traitor, Edward Lee Howard?"It's not his conduct, it's the denial."
What alerts cops to a good suspect? "He's defensive, he denies even his innocent behavior."

HD proponents use many words to vainly, defensively, deny the obvious - jamming.

During a recent trip with another couple - whose kids enjoyed iPods - we tuned in an FM salsa station. HD noise blocked our favorite local AM. Said the couple "I can't stand that when they block your station with that new noise". They need not know the technical reasons for HD jamming. They know what they know about HD - and they don't want it.

Some wish to lure us into HD technical discussions. Why squander time? Where's the fun in that? It jams. Period. HD backers' motives are obvious. Overblown denial cinches it.


Why do cheerleaders waste time laboriously replying to my drivel? Clearly desperate, they now suggest I'm 'insane'. Oh, my, another old Soviet tactic. "All who critcise the Revolution are 'insane'. Tedious. Why do they waste time arguing with those they claim are 'insane'?

Well, I'm very glad to hear that, as surely you are as well. How reassuring. Isn't it nice to see they've momentarily quith the tech gibberish & sermonizing, and now are back to using callous dismissals to hide their untidy and very noisy little secret?

How do we square 'people aren't supposed to die' with:

"We could lose half the AM stations and no one would notice.",

as so reassuringly spoken by iNiquity's boy wunderkind and his amen chorus?

Reading your comments as well as those from a few other IBOC detractors sure sounds like they come directly from the mouth of a brilliant engineer who developed a alternate system of AM broadcasting in the 1980's. (It may have been earlier but for this argument the developement date is unimportant). The reason I say this is that some of the language and words used here are exactly the same as the words used on this gentlemans web site. I do believe the man is a genious but he also has a tendency to fight windmills.

I've had the same impression for a while now. That "brilliant engineer" may have not had much commercial success with his products lately because of his style of writing. His current website would convince me not to buy anything from him if he had anything to sell, even if the products were superior.

He doesn't convince the reader of the quality of his products or their technical merits, he merely smears iBiquity. Might this be the reason his system for AM stereo lost out to Motorola, a system that many people thought was inferior? While Motorola was focused on marketing the merits of their system, he was focused instead on Motorola?

It's really sad actually, that a once well respected designer has reduced himself to this.

Dear friends of legitimate radio -

I guess the rest of us are "Illegitimate" radio.

Off to the Werk Kamps with me, eh? Inspector "J'accuse-oh!" has me on the ropes, yes?

Right - When in doubt show intellect. Good Take.

"Made up words"? Don't cheerleaders' repeated objections to 'made up words' prove they get the point? Does use of sitcom slogans, a la 'tinfoil hat', tell us a thing or two? How original.

No, I use the objection to made up words because it's juvenile. Someone who CLAIMS to be educated should know better. Thanks for cleaning up the drivel. At least this post is readable .

Did Watergate finish Richard Nixon? No, it was, "The coverup."
Why did FBI and CIA suspect traitor, Edward Lee Howard?"It's not his conduct, it's the denial."
What alerts cops to a good suspect? "He's defensive, he denies even his innocent behavior."

The issue here is RADIO. Not conspiracy theory nut job nonesense. This isn't a crime investigation. It's a new tech Spec. The FBI, CIA, RNC, Whitehouse, Nixon and Cops aren't involved. You're REALLY a conspiracy crazy. THAT'S The reason for the Tin Foil Hat rreference.

HD proponents use many words to vainly, defensively, deny the obvious - jamming.

If you want to call it JAMMING then go ahead. It's a self serving term that is moderately innaccurate. Every radio station in the country shares a given set of frequencies. On AM that means that your beloved WIOD JAMS WIP in Philadelphia. On channel jamming at 610 am. At 5 KW, WIP in Phladelphia SHOULD be readable in S. Florida. But WIOD JAMS them off the dial. And it's allowed. Why?

Because it's seperated by Geography. Philadelphia would be DX. No Protection. This has been the rules for a LONG time.

During a recent trip with another couple - whose kids enjoyed iPods - we tuned in an FM salsa station. HD noise blocked our favorite local AM. Said the couple "I can't stand that when they block your station with that new noise". They need not know the technical reasons for HD jamming. They know what they know about HD - and they don't want it.

Again with no details. "On a trip, my local station was blocked" On a trip to where, DETROIT? No details - how Convieninent.

You claim they said...

Said the couple "I can't stand that when they block your station with that new noise".

This couple actually said "I can't stand it when when they BLOCK your station."
I'm sure that "Block" was not led on by anyone. Who uses the term "Block" continously?

Notice they didn't say "Gee it doesn't came in as well as it used to, I wonder why?" they said "I hate it when they BLOCK your station." C'mon, give us a break.

Some wish to lure us into HD technical discussions. Why squander time? Where's the fun in that? It jams. Period. HD backers' motives are obvious. Overblown denial cinches it.

Translation - Some want to show us that specific long range reception that was outside a stations service area used to work and now it doesn't. I don't care, I want my DX.

Doc, There is no overblown denial. Your incessant accusations of Lying, FBI, CIA Etc..etc.. make rational discussion difficult.

Why do cheerleaders waste time laboriously replying to my drivel?

I spend time because your continued mischaractarizing the both myself and the situation are really just WRONG.

... is Clearly desperate, they now suggest I'm 'insane'. Oh, my, another old Soviet tactic. "All who critcise the Revolution are 'insane'. Tedious. Why do they waste time arguing with those they claim are 'insane'?

Again with the conspiricy. I'm suggesting you're "Insane". Read the post, it didn't happen. Again you're just making stuff up. Nice touch with the "Soviet tactic" thing. It's so you...

Are they using company resources for this dubious activity? My my.

1) Non of your business
2) So what if I am
3) No.

I wouldn't waste a second reading my demented dingbat doodlings, let alone reply to them.

Frankly, it's fun making someone who claims to be educated look so stupid.

Why do they?

Uh oh. It's "They".

Oh, I'm not joking either. Sorry if you took it that way. I actually use one of his products on one of my stations to this day and it still works well.

I would not be inclined to purchase any new products from him though based on what I've read on his website.

I don't know much about the inner dealings of the AM stereo battle. I just wonder if something similar to his current website played out then and might explain his ultimate loss to the Motorola system.

Dear lovers of good radio -

The above encyclicals illustrate character assassination and the same tired misleadings.

Tedious false tales and techno-dissemblings failed the cheerleaders. Moralizing, vis-a-vis line-by-line chiding schoolmarm commentaries to my boorish pig-ignorant canards is last year's gag.

What to do? Claim those who disagree are 'insane' and take issue with 'CIA', 'FBI', etc. Hope no one notices the obvious: Conspiracies aren't at issue. Denial is.

Cheerleaders know investigators and researchers of all stripe listen to language to find truth.

Denial aroused suspicion in previously cited vignettes. Why? It suggests questionable motives.

Cheerleaders' sullen behavior, despite victory, suggested unfinished business. Now the word is out. Seems so is the 'the jury'. Citizens and the majority of broadcasters have yet to decide.

As many note, they've already made their decision.

Cheerleaders know investigators and researchers of all stripe listen to language to find truth.

Denial aroused suspicion in previously cited vignettes. Why? It suggests questionable motives.

Cheerleaders' sullen behavior, despite victory, suggested unfinished business. Now the word is out. Seems so is the 'the jury'. Citizens and the majority of broadcasters have yet to decide.

As many note, they've already made their decision.

Character assassination? Did we name names? You are reading into our comments and drawing your own warped conclusions. As for the majority of broadcasters, that's quite an assumption you've made there. Let's put it this way. The companies who own the majority of stations, CC, CBS, ABC, as well as NPR stations have gone for IBOC as opposed to other digital systems. Buckley radio, owner of WOR radio is also a major proponant of the HD digital system. I know that Emmis, Univision and Cumulous, Crawford, Greater Media, Piller Of Fire, Entercom, Peak broadcasting, Bonneville International Corp, own HD radio stations and support this technology. Shall I go on? I named quite a few group owners. Who are these masses of anti IBCO owners and how many stations do they own?

Hey, I just read that this guy doesn't believe in Global Warming either. I guess you don't have children or care that your childrens children might face ecological issues. Talk about a smug attitiude.
