Here's a question. *Why would anyone in their right mind spend over
two hundred dollars for a small table radio who's sound quality is
marginal at best?


One, prices are going down rapidly. Radio Shack has had units on sale for
$99, in fact.

Second, the HD audio on FM is superior to the analog FM audio. AM is
digital, and free of most man-made and ambient interference.


"Meet your new competition"

"And demand for all Internet services - not simply audio - will drive
product development, marketing, and sales. In other words, the
platform will not have to be sold. It will just have to be bought. And
that's a key distinction differentiating these services from satellite
and HD radio - both of which need both selling and buying. And right
now there's a whole lot of the former going on and not enough of the
latter. By necessity, satellite is already branching into video and
WiFi solutions while HD radio is still trying to emerge from its
shell."

What you are attempting to do, is exactly what is wrong with HD Radio.
