There has been a lot of talk (by me included) that IBOC is not the
answer for AM. Especially if we can't do it at night. I'm wondering what
-is- the answer for AM? In my mind one of the bells and whistles we need
to be cool is a way to put data on the radio display.

While driving between Portland, Maine and Scranton, PA last Saturday I was
NW of Boston on I-495 I was listening to a station with the "Legends" format on
1490 and as I drove around a noise came up on the music programming. It
was the background "I-buzz" right under the music. No splatter just noise. It
so happend that there was a talk station that was running HD Radio on 1470
kHz. the HD noise interferred with the music. I may have the frequencies
mixed up it may have been 1450 and 1420 kHz. anyway it wasn't the normal
over modulation sideband splatter it was the actual noise below the music.
This is the first time I have heard what it may do to local nearby channels. I
was listening on a factory radio in a new Ford Taurus.
I have heard the noise while in Atlanta listening last winter to WLAC
Nashville on 1510 with the noise interference on channel from the WSAI 1530,
Cincinatti until they turned off at 6PM EST.
There has to be some way to have this noise cancel out on adjacent channels
using DSP's in the receivers or something????
