[BC] HD2 is here in Albuquerque

[Williams, Chris Albuquerque]

Currently the streams are fed off of the On Air HD2 processors, If we had seperate processing things would be a little different. Also I just realized ALL of the Albuquerque streams are on generic CHR settings and since I have just installed my HD2 radio in the truck they should start sounding better soon. Before the official launch Our engineering department was playing our entire library on random and were trying to learn the boundries of processing on the HD2 streams. Maybe if I had a little more sleep I would have waited a few days to fire off that original email to the list but I am still getting great feedback.

I just tried to listen to it. I can connect to the stream but there doesn't
seem to be any modulation at the moment. (I verified that I could connect
to, and hear, a few other stations in the list.)

Regarding processing of stream in general, I expect that, at the very
least, streams will be processed for source-to-source consistency. Some
high-energy formats are complemented by heavy compression. But there is
absolutely no need to do the level of overprocessing that is all too common
in major market FM today. In particularly, there is no need for the excess
peak limiting that adds nothing to the "color" of the sound other than
making it distorted and fatiguing to listen to.
