Does anyone know how the bitrate layout is panning out for HD-1 vs. HD-2s in most (or all) markets?? Stations on FM transmitting only one channel use 96kbps....Initially, it was discussed when multicasting first was in the planning stages that a 64kbps bitrate would be used for the primary, and a lower-fi 32kbps bitrate would be used for the HD-2....But it seems stations are using higher than 32 for the HD-2 (and therefore less than 64 on HD-1)...Is there an agreed standard, and if so, what is it? Also is anyone (with radios, lol) hearing anything on HD-3s in their markets, like NOAA weather or AM simulcasts?? Here in Miami we have WQAM on WPOW's HD-3, and NOAA on WKIS' HD-3, and I know when I was in Philly in September they had WWDB-AM on Wired 96.5's HD-3, and a loop with taped newscasts from other markets on WXTU HD-3.
