In 2010, the Federal Communications Commission adopted new technical rules to permit FM stations to voluntarily increase hybrid digital power levels from -20dBc to -14dBc for most stations, and set a system to allow some stations to achieve up to -10dBc. Since that date, many stations have updated their transmission facilities to take advantage of the power increase. 

The latest SBE webinar, "Field Observations of Elevated FM HD (IBOC) Power Levels" will be held on Wednesday, September 24^th from 2 to 3 p.m. ET.  Alan Jurison, CSRE, AMD, DRB, CBNE, will present some of the tangible benefits of elevated digital power, as well as some of the shortcomings to help engineers better understand digital radio coverage and performance at various power levels.

The completion of this webinar qualifies for one credit, identified under Category I of the Recertification Schedule for SBE Certifications. 

Registration is available on-line at the SBE website.
