"The public" doesn't engineer your station. "The
public" anymore couldn't tell you what good quality is
anymore.....<sigh!> 

 It always has with me Powell.

Not as in above, though.

Not by running your radio station with a toy, I hope.

You will. And read the Optimod 9200 manual and Bob
Orban's warning about using compressed digital files.

That's true UNLESS you do something you are sternly
warned will cause you to be really unhappy. No dualing
algorythms.

But Steve, "they" don't care, and "they" are going to
implement "it" anyway. 

A lot of GOOD stations in small markets have VERY
involved and complicated operations. WPUB in Camden SC
has audio coming from some 20 +++++ sources. Music is
on HD.  Even Scott Systems is unable to do even a
small part of what they need to do. The ENCO even does
the power changes on the AM, and it has a multi tiered
power down to the around 25 watts final power. Now, do
ya'll understand what I am trying to say? WKDK runs
Enco and is live assist during the day, but overnites
is automated and a bit more complicated.
