To all radio engineers who work on HD radio stations...

[TXengineer]

Let me just stresst how important the timing is. With more and more car radios, it is real important that the timing be set perfectly. When driving on the fringe of the city grade contour tonight in my car, one station (which shall remain nameless) has a good 3-4 second difference between the two. And without switching the radio to analog mode only, the constant going back and fourth was annoying enough that I stopped listening to it.

Just some input to the guys who make this great stuff work.

Who cares, only three of you are listening anyway. Just listen to analog. Shows you how poor the digital coverage is.

Question: do all HD radios have the same amount of delay in the store and decode process?
Is caching involved as with a PC or sat rad and can that vary from radio to radio?<P ID="signature">______________

The delay is set at the tranmsitter.
