Digital radio? What's that?
Radio has its work cut out for it because HD Radio is the best-kept secret.
Practicalities of surround
While the standard defines the basic operation of the trasnmission system, the enhanced functions of data, surround sound and multicast operation have yet to be fully defined.
IBOC and data
The real return of migrating to IBOC comes down to the simple fact that it levels the playing field.
Notes on NRSC-5 and IBOC
When the FCC asked for comments on NRSC-5, we asked readers to share their thoughts with us also. The response was overwhelming.
Slow and Steady HD Radio Rollout
This graph shows that consumers will increase their investment in HD Radio-capable receivers over the next decade.
Open Mic
Every radio engineer has his favorite songs that he uses to adjust a station's processing or evaluate performance.
One step closer
Let NRSC-5 determine the basic operation of the system, which it has done. The added features and enhancements are needed, but they can wait until the next standards-setting announcement.
Maximized data
Data networks have extended beyond basic bit shuffling. They now have support applications for nearly every function of the station.
Digital Radio Glossary
The data aspect of HD Radio includes lots of new terms and abbreviations. Here are some of the more common abbreviations and terms that you will likely encounter.
Three (HD Radio terms) for the show
Three terms can summarize most of the discussion heard at the convention.
The extra bits in IBOC
Data has always been a part of the IBOC plan, but it is just being recognized for its current and future capabilities.

Radiomagazine readers share their views on digital radio and potential engineering talent.
Open Mic
We asked two industry professionals about their station's data capabilities. Read what they said.
Standards in data
An informal standard for data services is defined by ID3, which grew from the popularity of MP3 files and the desire to include information about the audio within the file.
PADding the truth
One obstacle in displaying PAD from an automation system is that the information entered into the system may not have been keyed in a form that is suitable for the public.
Installing AM IBOC
The basic installation of an AM IBOC transmitter is similar to that for an FM IBOC installation with varying exceptions required by the different system
Digitized and confused
I steered the sales people at a couple of local electronics dealers to terrestrial, digital receivers without using the terms IBOC, HD Radio or the dreaded high-definition radio and was told the that the receivers did not exist, that stores had head units but not the receiver unit or that the store had no plans to carry these units.
IBOC's real return
Perhaps the answer to the return on investment for IBOC lies in its ability to keep pace with the emerging services.
