Hi Sergei, I'll tackle the HD questions:
The two sites to check on HD offerings are: http://www.hdradio.com/ http://www.ibiquity.com/hdradio_find_a_station The quality of a HD radio depends on several factors: a) how many streams are being fed. Only 1 is allowed on AM/MW but 3 are allowed on FM. More equals more content but less quality in each. b) how far are you from the transmitter. Too far and no signal at all. On the edge and you will have frequent shifts back and forth between analog and digital mode. C) the same factors that affect any other signal: the care and feeding of the signal by the engineers and producers. Overall, the signal is definitely better. CD quality? Umm, well, maybe... not usually. The Radiosophy radio is good, but not the best I've heard.

Are there sites where I can find out more about HD radio offerings in my area? Is HD AM signal really as good as they describe it on that link to Radiosophy HD radio? Sorry for too many questions... _______________________________________________ Swprograms mailing list [email protected] http://montreal.kotalampi.com/mailman/listinfo/swprograms To unsubscribe: Send an E-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], or visit the URL shown above.
