One of the news stories say that the listeners with analog radios will hear
only silence, but what is their definition of silence? It sounds like the IBOC
hash will be worse on the channel, but not on adjacent channels? Time will
tell. I am sure the DXers in the Puget Sound will report on what is heard.
Here, KKXA 1520 is buried under KGDD days and mixes at night. KRKO is heard
24/7. However, is poor days next to local KAST 1370, but decent at night.
Thanks Chuck.

"It depends" as they always say.
The current hybrid IBOC has digital trash in 3 bands: 0 to 5 kHz, 5 to 10 kHz and 10 to 15 kHz.
The good news: all digital IBOC has no usage of the 10 to 15 kHz band.
The bad news: all digital IBOC increases the power in the 0 to 6 kHz and 5 to 10 kHz bands.

I don't know if anyone has posted this but both KRKO and KKXA will test in all
digital mode after the first of October for periods of time according to the
NorthWest Broadcasters site (nwbroadcasters.com. This should be interesting,
except if they test only during the day, I may not hear them here. I wonder if
the QRN will be worse in all digital mode?
