Hi Patrick -
Uninformed questions re IBOC power. Are IBOC mitters separate from analog? Either way, are HD signals pulse-like? If so, would peak power be much higher than average? No doubt many explanations for listener reports indicating high power despite claims to the contrary.
Mixing apples with kumquats by comparing w/radars such as FPS-35, in which pulsed 50 Kw amplitrons produce 5 Mw out. Canaveral lift-offs were detected from Thomaston, AL and Manassas, VA despite low-average transmitter power. Peak power carried the day.
If IBOC sigs pulse-like, would this explain much higher level of received noise despite claimed low average power? If interference nil and HD power trifling - as some claim - why would anyone bother?
