I wonder if transmitters like the Ccrane exist for transmitting digital on FM? I venture to guess if you could do it at home, you'd have to use a mono transmitter and feed it with all the expensive boxes to encode stereo and the digital side of the signal. As I understand from various sites online, most transmitters in common use are really mono. The reason radio becomes stereo is because they feed them with encoders that convert their stereo signal from the board into the mono implementation that gets decoded to stereo when received. I'm not sure how they'd inject the digital into it, unless the company that does digital in the states makes a device that encodes for both analog stereo and digital. Even if one could, not sure if it would be legal to not transmit analog to go along with the digital on part 15 but you'd still need an encoder of sort to feed the mono input of the transmitter with digital stream that HD radios understand.
