And then there’s those engineer’s who see the sudden abundance of HD channels available means they get to run their own private radio station on the side with music they like. Here in my area, there’s a classic oldies station on the second HD channel of a hip-hop station.

Tim, cool your jets; you have no need to gripe. Consider the poor station owner who spent 5 to 10 times the price of your X5 to turn on HD Radio. Those are the people who have reason to ask for their money back.

You should try broadcasting in – and attempting to market – HD Radio in the Blue Ridge Mountains! Oy! Fix it? It’s going to take more than an increase in power to save HD.

Comment on Extend Your Reach by Rick KVRZ-FM

Nice article. We are located in dense mountains in Montana. Usually with our transmitter high up it helps stereo problems. but I’ve noticed that switching off (especially when our antenna was in town 300meters below avg terrain) stereo would allow further reach. I never knew one could cut the separation down tho (thanks!), but knew something was going on with some stations here. Some would seem to drop out of stereo sooner than others, when minor fading would occur, as one drives thru mtns. At first I kind of assumed they cut level of 19khz pilot a bit but on experimenting with that here, it did not seem to work very well.

Comment on Internet DXing by Jack Gott

Hi guys and gals. Just thought I would comment here as well. I agree internet radio is a different animal than was radio with a transmitter. I have built a few studios and radio stations. I have never really warmed up to the notion that the FCC should regulate internet radio or internet data of any kind for that matter. I am delighted however to see the age of digital ushered in to broadcast. I indeed run my own stations, some are all digital and some even have analog transmitters instead of WiFi as their output. I also feel that the digital age of radio is here and offers a much larger audience that does an analog transmitter. The smart corporate backed broadcasters (and they all are these days) are going digital delivery or WiFi and they should. As a consumer, I love having more choices. Enjoy your new kitchen radio, Tim.

Comment on FLAT OUT by Jack Gott

Jack Gott — Thu, 01 Jan 2009 15:32:35 +0000

Just a couple of comments.
1. Great discussion. Thank you.
2. Jon, Why would you need to compare
a microphones frequency response plot if you
created it with a known flat source such as an oscillator and known flat source transducer in a chamber? I do agree that using another microphone which has been calibrated is a good method.
3. Mandi, I would not consider studio responses and mixing anomolies when speaking or measuring microphone and other transducers because they should be measured and treated separately and when making measurements you first want to eliminate as many variables from your baseline measurements and calibrations of each device or system. Then when all that is done, you can later consider the studio effects and mixer effects which I do agree should be considered.
Thanks for a great forum people!
