Despite the hoopla from NPR and NAB I can’t find one documented complaint about interference from such modulators. I think it is largely a created complaint. Perhaps it’s supposed to take attention away from the gross interference from HD radio broadcasting. That is documented and has caused the loss of reception of many stations to many people. Isn’t it interesting that there are so many rules and regulations regarding interference with licensed stations, yet technology being embraced by broadcasters does exactly that. I know I have mentioned this many times before, but NPR and the NAB and many broadcasting corporations can’t seem to figure out that their declining listenership is due to lack of localism. So many stations simply want a cheap satellite delivered program service and there is simply nothing unique about the programming. On another forum I visit one of the members said that he dropped his resume by a new station (new ownership) and found that they had no studio. There was equipment for emergency alerts, etc. But the station did none of their production on site and were not set up to broadcast live other than a microphone cut-in for emergency use. If all I’m getting is canned music and some commercials, why not skip the middle man and simply tune into satellite radio and hear the tunes commercial-free?
