These radios do not sell, no one even knows IBOC exists, it is just biding it's time waiting for it's funeral which no one will even know happened. It interferes with it's neighbor stations, it's range is extremely limited, the radios don't work correctly, you need outside antennas if you want to get any HD radios beyond about 10 miles. It's a monopoly run by idiots who are causing radio to worse than it already is. I can elaborate: You will have maybe 10 listeners if you are lucky.
