[IRCA] IBOC 8- SECOND DELAY

[Pete Taylor <ptdx@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

KPLU-88.5 Tacoma has a repeater near Seattle on 88.1 and the  
repeater's audio is 8 seconds ahead of the mother signal  presumably  
because 88.5 is IBOC. I have seen many comments relating to the  
limited range of the IBOC signal on AM but I don't recall seeing  
anyone comment on what must happen with an IBOC station as you  
approach its fringe area. Does the audio pop back and forth between  
the digital and analog signals as you alternate between them?  
Obviously I am referring to a potential situation while driving. I  
would think this would make maintaining continuity very challenging...
