Default Sangean says no more shortwave radios

No, Sangean will not release a new Shortwave radio. The closest thing to it
will be our DRM-40, featuring DRM, Digital Radio Mondale, digital shortwave.
The reason being that we have over the past 5 years seen a 50% reduction in
the shortwave category. People unfortunately are not interested in SW.


Not a surprising announcement, and probably overdue considering the
plummeting demand for shortwave radios.
