I wonder if you worked out what Tom was actually doing? Not all the snippets in 
the recording are actually HD.
Take the first two, Tom first tuned to 1050KHZ.
As people in Southern California will know, KNX is on 1070KHZ so Tom tuned to 
1050KHZ to force the radio into Analogue AM mode.
Then he tunes to 1070KHZ where the HD encoder locks in.
Later he tunes to KFI and we’re not sure if KFI broadcasts in HD or not.
I’ve been reading a lot about HD Radio and - if the articles I’m reading are 
anything to believed - there may come a day in the USA when Analogue 
broadcasting is dropped completely and a new form of HD takes over? This 
scenario makes sense in many ways and of course - by that time - HD radio sets 
will be common place.
They’re becoming increasingly common now though the public is blissfuly unaware 
of this and there’s probably no need to make a big issue of it.
For example, the chip manufacturer Silicon Labs make a chip which is capable of 
receiving just about every radio mode one can think of, AM, FM, DAB+ and HD are 
listed in the specs.
This chip has been available to automative manufacturers for quite some time 
and I’ve often suspected that Sangean might very well be using something 
similar in their radio sets.

Greetings,

Indeed, it has worked for me so will delight in listening to these files.

greetings,

I am curious when people send links, often we have them twice, evidence this
sent by Dane:

When I send a Dropbox link to anybody, they receive a single link, if it is
the kind of file which on some systems plays instead of downloads, I then
put the "?dl=1" at the end of the link.  If it is a folder link, then often
it has "?dl=0" at it's end.

I wonder why this is?

The link I plan to use for obtaining this file, taken from the one sent, is:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10565527/KNX1070.MP3?dl=1

this, I know, will work for me.
