TV broadcast is acutely sensitive to the peak to average power ratio. Switching to COFDM from VSB would require me to lower my average power and shrink my coverage just to keep the FCC off my back. By many accounts, 8VSB gains equal multipath footing by adding RF equalization at the front end. American's aren't swapping out our TV sets at breakneck pace because we can't justify spending $3,000 for something we can't record onto a tape. Not because ATSC doesn't work. elecdesign.com elecdesign.com

"Who has claimed CDMA450 breaks any legislative power limits??" From: Message 17933968 Pretty bad that 450MHz, great for large and sparsely populated, even poor, cells, are what they are only with very high transmit power. One reason that the scandinavian shamans are happy to get rid of them. Especially the ones in a vehicle, I would never voluntarily wobble my eggs against a 450MHz antenna in use, not even close to the basestation. On the other hand, a good radiolink is always good for reheating some coffee, or a regular finnish sausage.
