Radio Raices - Republica Dominicana

I was listening to Radio Raice's (Santo Domingo) stream and they were commenting they were the first in the DR to broadcast in "digital." I went to their website and found some info. Hadn't heard them for a few months, but I assume it's only signed on IBOC in the past 90 days. Their site also mentions that they've been testing since last summer and are ready to put on HD-2 and HD-3 streams.

I say way to go! While not a fan of IBOC AM, FM is a great investment and shows how forward thinking they are! Here is an excerpt from their website:

"Raíces utiliza el sistema norteamericano de radio digital conocido como IBOC (in band on channel), único que permite la transmisión simultánea de la señal analógica junto a la digital, facilitando a los oyentes una migración al sistema digital, a la medida de sus posibilidades.

Cada una de las frecuencias o carrier de Raíces, transporta cuatro señales diferentes, la analógica, con la programación habitual; y los canales digitales HD-1, también con la programación habitual, pero en formato digital; el HD-2, con una programación especializada (pendiente) de música popular y tropical, y el HD-3, con otra nueva programación (se anunciará próximamente).

Esto significa, que Raíces dispondrá de tres programaciones digitales diferentes en la misma frecuencia, que podrán ser sintonizadas SOLO por los receptores digitales."

And for those who don't speak spanish: "Raices uses the north American digital radio system known as IBOC (in band on channel) the only one that allows simultaneous transmition of an analogue signal with a digital signal, allowing the listeners a migration to a digital system and it's possibilities.

Each of these frequencies, or Raices' carrier has 4 different signals, the analogue with normal programming, and the digital frequencies HD-1, also with normal programming, but in digital format; the HD-2, with specialised programming (pending) of popular and tropical music, and the HD-3 with other new programming (to be announced so0n).

This means that Raices will broadcast 3 different digital programmes on the same frequency, that you can ONLY tune in with digital receivers."

¿Are IBOC recievers even available in the DR?
