The FM still does not cover as well as expected. Of
course the power is 1% of analog, and it will have to
go up. Original thought was up to 2%. No problem with
doing it. The talk now is 10% and that will cause
problems and a lot of transmitters can't do that much
more power. IBOC on FM sounds like a hissy whine. You
have to be fairly close to the station to hear it.
