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.


Come to think of it, Sangean has probably just lost market share to its
competition. That's probably where that "50% reduction" comes from.
