Re: [IRCA] Seattle's 1090 Now Using IBOC

["Rick Lewis" <ricklew@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Finally checked KFNQ out on the upstairs HD radio.
The HD decodes, but really, it sounds no better than their AM did before 
they introduced IBOC noise to it.
Granted, it sounds much quieter than it does on analog, but only because of 
the contrast from the hash now mixed with the analog signal.
How absurd!

As Gomer Pyle would say "Surprise..surprise..surprise". KFNQ is indeed IBOC. 
I can hear the sidebands as of this morning. No doubts about it! Not a big 
problem here, but it is there.
