Hi Butch,

I have to disagree with your statement about signal strength.  I have a 
receptor digital radio here and I've been able to receive several noisy fm 
stations digitally with no noise.  Now the normal analog signal has to be 
nearly full quieting to get a solid digital signal, but the difference 
between the two signals is amazing.  On A M, the analog signal has to be 
pretty strong, but again once the radio switches over to digital reception, 
the fidelity improves and the A M background hiss goes away.  Now, the only 
thing that we need is better programming!

Well, digital fm isn't all that great either as far as signal strength
required.  I was at the a e s store yesterday, and they had some good
music playing.  We got to talking, and they told me clear channel had
asked if they could set up a demmo of an h d radio.  They told me they had
to string out quite a bit of wire for an antenna just to get a good enough
signal.
