and a request to Barry to please remove this idiot
 
Since my involvement in this digital business goes back to 1991, I can speak.  The published power level expectations for digital facilities go back to at least 1998.  No manufactuer can claim any ignorance of the -10dBc future.  The -20dBc level has been sort of a holy grail for the IBOC approach in the interest of maintaining the capture ratio as a method to reduce interference between analog and digital.  However, going back to at least 2001, it has been no secret that the digital carrier power would have to come up to -10dB for full pattern replication.  However, the cost and complexity to go full bore at analog TPO plus -10dB while trying to make it all work in the field was concerned bad on many fronts.  You don't experiment at full power.  If you had any technical sense at all, you would understand how properly this has been handled in both scientific and engineering terms of best practices.
 
Using -20dBc has proven that the technology works, in a technical sense.  It is necessary to get to -10dBc to make it work in a financially viable sense where pattern replication and 50/50 service contours are sustainable.
 
I am really sick of your ignorant diatribes.  I want you off this list and wish Ibiquity would sue you for damage to their business.  Or perhaps your misinformed clients should sue you.
