SC DXing - That is very True US Consumer will :

#1 - Up-Grade their regular AM & FM Radios
with a new HD {AM & FM} Radio

-or- #2 - Buy something newer and better

Most Will Choose #2 -however- Should the FCC Mandate
the 'configuration' of All Digital or Satellit Read Radios :
Then HD {AM & FM} Radios will be in every New Car plus

will be Buying a new HD {AM & FM} Radio

The simple fact is People no longer BUY AM & FM Radios
in-of-and-by-themselves .

Without a FCC Mandate for All Digital HD {AM & FM} Radios
the Terrestrial AM & FM Radio Broadcasting Business is
