Hi All, Most likely a little off topic, but it is still to do with Digital Radio. With the advent of Digital TV, I am surprised that there has not been more work done on the Broadcast side for normal radio. I would of thought that this would of been easier to implement and install, don't have

In the U.S. the FCC has approved a system called IBOC (In-Band On Channel) to add digitial audio to existing AM and FM stations. In broadcast radio, there isn't the luxury of unused channels that allow every station to have one analog and one digital transmitter. I haven't seen any terrestrial

IBOC is a method whereby both analog and digital signals are transmitted on the same frequency. Additional digital subcarriers are carried on the normal AM or FM analog signal. They extend beyond the normal channel bandwidth though so there is an increased chance of adjacent channel interference.

The SCA (Subsidiary Communications Authority) was a sub-carrier quite a distance from the main carrier and was not detected by the standard FM receiver. The audio quality was very low. I think the maximum was only 8000 Hz or something relatively modest but worked well for speech. The IBOC (In
