Re: [IRCA] IBAC vs IBOC

[Milspec390@xxxxxxx]

IBOC irritates many precisely because little can be done about it. Nulling 
proves difficult. One can easily null analog, but nulling digital 'mask' is nigh 
on impossible. Even if you could do so, HD hiss noticeably mars desired 
analog broadcasts.
 
Limiters, blankers, u.s.w. prove ineffectual. One suggestion, posted here 
some time ago by most astute member, to tune slightly into HD noise. So doing 
somewhat attenuates it.
 
FCC has the eye for HD complaints, but not the stomach for it. Most 
unfortunate.
 
Lawsuits may well flow. Someone will perish for lack of real advisories, vis 
a vis Greensburg Tornadoes. NWS was sued some years ago for failure to provide 
storm warnings on 162 megs. Several fishermen perished. Radio is where 
everyone goes 'when something happens'. Traffic texting, during those moments, is 
irrelevant, as is HD.

Yes, we're all friends here. We freely exchange knowledge, yet we've found, 
despite a wealth of expertise, that IBOC interference all but impossible to 
nullify. 
 
Speaking well of IBOC is tantamount to capitulation. When thieves are afoot, 
one does not invite them in for tea, much less compliment their evasive 
behavior.
 
Time and unforeseen circumstance inevitably set matters aright.
