HD radio based on IBOC an issue and what are your experiences with this type of reception?
Currently there is a big discussion in Switzerland, our government has decided to switch off FM for commercial and non-commercial operation by the end of January 2023. In other words, anyone who wants to listen to
the radio in the future will have to buy a DAB+-capable device or switch to other distribution channels (internet or DVB-C/S), depending on what the broadcaster offers.
Personally, I am not a fan of DAB/DAB+, I prefer FM and was able to
enjoy HD Radio (IBOC) during 2 years in the field test, which convinced
me of this technology as a further approach to the FM frequency band. Unfortunately this technology is dead in Switzerland. I hope other countries have made a better decision here than Switzerland, which in effect orders the customer to enrich the entertainment industry by
having to buy a new receiver. In my eyes, this is modern robbery of the taxpayer.
Best regards
Alisha
