[BC] Identifying audio processors

[Bailey, Scott]

I can now tell if a station is using an Orban/CRL, or an Omnia,
vs an inexpensive Inovonics Processor on AM.

Bob, I believe this comes from the fact it doesn't work. Wait, Rich 
Wood says there are no known problems with IBUZ. At any rate, I 
remember when the  first Orban hit the market. Stations, overnight, 
sounded huge! I remember a  college buddy of mine saying (as he'd 
tune the AM dial) that station has an Orban online. They worked. They 
didn't crap all over the band. If it took 10 years to develop 
something that isn't working properly I can see why some  feel as 
they do. Hey, they took the R&D risk and if it's got problems 
(and  apparently it does) fix them or take the hit and fold or move 
on but don't  bilk people during the tinkering process. Is my thinking flawed?

 > I keep hearing all of this talk about iBiquity's "greed," yet no 
one seems to want to acknowledge the 10+ years of R&D that iBiquity 
and its predecessors (USADR and Lucent) put into development of IBOC before
they saw a dime of cash flow. They risked a lot of capital on that 
project, and I suspect that they are still far underwater financially 
when one considers their total investment.
