Which Has Better Reception?

Watch for the MYSTERIOUS debut of a new website - KILLIbocNOW!  It's coming soon...

OH B-O-B... You’re so “angry and bitter”... ‘MUST be because you failed to invest $400,000 and snag that ten-watt high school non-com; and are now forced to operate a “dollar-for-holler AM-interference-generator, on the verge of an evangelical take-over, in backwater Monroe County.”  Have you considered a LOCAL call-in “Dial-for-Dollars” show to augment those Arbitron shares? ...OH, ’Just remembered you have “Grounded In Grace” – but Grounded is garbled by midnight-IBOC in much of the coverage area you’re NOT supposed to enjoy

SORRY! ...Is this flavor of cynicism necessary to describe an apologist’s feeble attempt to “defend HD”—I mean “divert” intellectual attention away from the pitfalls of AM IBOC?  Maybe – maybe-not, but consider the “iBiquity P-1s” who post here.

OBJECTION!  Irrelevant.  OBJECTION!  Asked-and-answered.  OBJECTION!  Argumentative.  OBJECTION!  Badgering the Hippo.

“ORDER in the Court! ...There’s TOO-much NOISE in this late-afternoon session! ...Or is that HISS I hear in my ear-buds listening to Dennis Miller while I sit at this bench?”

...And like your friend up the Boulevard [Mr. Burns], you appear to have a problem remembering what was stated in a prior post:

I’m basing this on second-hand news; as I have not so much as touched the RS Accurian or HD-100 with “my formerly nicotine-stained fingers”...

That last quote leads me to believe that you may have the same relationship with truth that the porcine individual who coined it.

Since you may have so internalized it, I'll refresh your memory, it's the same person who is still accusing the Clintons of murdering Vince Foster.

a followup conversation in mid December, they thought 2 might have been.

-And that of recollection  is about as authoritative as yours with an important exception:  Note "may have been" vs. "was". As in "What I CAN recall is the dismal statistic that the Accurian was the MOST-RETURNED"

WHERE in Webster’s definition of “recall” is an association with misinformation or dishonesty implied?

Now, now it's all in the context, isn't it.

This is a radio FORUM—NOT the official public record. Speculation and second-person attributions are part of ANY business [YOURS ESPECIALLY!]...

Finally something I agree with, and since I work the stocks, speculations is a part of my business. See, like I allways say, "even a broken clock is right twice a day". Except ofcourse if it's digital.

Now, let’s get back to comparing RADIOS – rather than verbs from a thesaurus

Excellent idea. Let's also try to delineate fact from belief -this isn't a discussion of religion.

Anybody stuck with one of the Directed Electronics Car add-on HD tuner?
I am.  RCA audio jacks are all distortion until the unit warms up to 97 degrees - no lie, then it's just okay.  FM modulator is off frequency, so AM stations have nasty sibilance.  AGC is way off the mark - any noise on 1st adjacent and the AGC drops to nothing.

However, FM analog performance is good, but HD-FM is just a little insensistive - not enough to lock-in the rimshot HD-FM.

AM-HD is nasty (see AGC horror above).  Just not sensitive enough for even 50KW AM-HD 50 miles out.  It does NOT decode CQuam either, so I can't use it for that either.  Bandwidth on analog AM isn't wide enough.

Pretty display unit, remote is nice, but you can cook toast on the remote tuner section.

Anybody care to compare how their Directed Electronics units work?  It's too bad these are the radios typically given-out by the HD stations to 'winning' listeners.
