They are still working on the software. Just recently there was a new
release and you had to change to it, the previous release no longer works
with the new transmissions. If they released this in the firmware of a
receiver, you would most likely have to make hardware upgrades to your
receiver to keep up with it.

But why are there no reasonably priced recievers yet?
Waiting to buy a new radio.



If the radio has flash memory, then no hardware upgrade would be needed.
Flash memory is cheap.

Answering the original question... Low prices come from high volume. With
the number of DRM transmissions today, it will be a while before there is
sufficient interest to create the demand. You'll have to wait a while.

Remember to when 2nd generation CD players were $600 and there were very few
CDs. Now a CD player that works as well, or better, can be found for $30.
CDs are everywhere.

The shortwave market is very small.
