I've seen that notice too but Walter Hess did not mention it to me in
his e-mail reply. Also, unfortunately, DAB would be of use only to
European, Canadian, or US users in the northern states, I believe.

Remember when any radio could work anywhere in the world? This
fragmenting of broadcast standards may be a first step (intentionally
or not) to restrict availability of information which could then be
"censored" locally by the powers-that-be (and I might mention that I
am NOT a "right-wing conspiracy advocate"). TV has basically always
been that way. What a shame.

I think I'll wait until a multi-format portable receiver is designed
(if ever). Like some others, I have no interest in "pay" radio (which
is not true world-band, anyway).
