DRM submission to FCC

Radio World reports the Digital Radio DRM consortium has submitted
comments to the FCC in regards to AM Revitalization (MM Docket No. ET
13-249)

The article says:

While the organization says that it is supportive of changes to rules
for AM broadcasters, in its comments it also submits a proposal for
the FCC to consider its DRM30 standard mode for replacing analog sound
broadcasting in frequency bands below 30 MHz. The organization cites
its recent rollout in India as an example of its benefits.

Among the benefits of the DRM 30, according to DRM, is its ability to
provide data services — such as emergency warnings, data carriage, and
EPG — to supplement the program content or for independent purposes as
required by Recommendation ITU-R BS.1348.

DRM says that its service can provide AM audio quality close to that
of FM. It also offers up to three audio channels and one data on a
single frequency, as well as stable reception over long distances. The
organization claims that current infrastructure can be used and
upgraded.
