than 2,000 of those radios. Who would buy a very expensive portable radio Most of the AM radios I encounter are 10 dollar no-brand (or one shot brand) portables that you're lucky if they can pick up three of the stronger stations in your market all across the dial. Hell, I saw one in a store that was only able to pick up one station no matter how much I turned the tuning dial -- it was AM 66 WFAN all the way from 5.4 to 16 and nothing else. Yes I hear the hiss and crap on my Superadio and on a lot of other hi-fi radios I have in the house... but let's get real...who aside from us radio geeks listens to AM on something like that? Most people are just using a cheapie clock radio for news in the morning (if that) -- car radio for news on the commute and maybe the odd ball game. And before you think I like IBOC, I am actually gunning for its failure. I hate it. It makes my radios sound like garbage during the day. But if doesn't fail (and it won't)...hey guess what...that's why I have a little 100 milliwatt part 15 rig set up to re-lay the Music Choice channels on my cable TV for my apartment. -- Sven Weil New York City, U.S.A. |
