[BC] Re: HD Receiver

[Dennis Cope]

It appears (from what I have been reading on this list server) the HD radios
don't have a very good front end.  My older Kenwood (KR-9600) has a TRF
front end with crystal IF's and TDM stereo demod and a ratio detector.  Even
the AM uses ceramic IF filters and TRF.  I guess they don't make them like
that any more.

Wait a minute, please explain something to me someone. I have never looked
at an HD radio. Do you need an external antena to use one? If the answer is
yes, someone was smoking crack when they recomended IBOC. Who is going to
purchase and erect any type of antena for there clock radio?????  Say it
isn't so, tell me our industry isn't that stupid. If that is so and I owned
a radio station, I would sell it before that fact was known by too many
people. If your going to get an antena just to effectively use a clock
radio, you might as well go satellite!!!!!

But, maybe I miss-understood something!!!
