FCC authorizes a power increase for HD Radio FM signals

Most HD Radio operators had long sought the relaxation of the rules that kept digital power far below analog power levels, which hasn’t helped sell the new technology to consumers who can’t pick up the digital signals. Today (Jan. 29) the Media Bureau adopted an Order permitting most stations to immediately make a four-fold power increase of 6 dB, and allow stations to apply for even more power, up to a 10 dB increase over current levels. It will, however, limit power hikes for so-called “super-powered” stations which are already over the maximums for their class. And it will “establish interference remediation procedures”, since interference with the traditional analog service has been a source of concern in the past. The Bureau “reserves the right to re-visit the issue” if it gets reports of “significant interference.” Read the news release about the Order (still to come) here. The “New Generation Radio” Board of Radio-Info.com quickly opened a discussion of HD Radio.
