DRM Shortwave Radio - Has It Died !
RHF wrote: The Bottom Line : Switching-Off Analogue FM and AM Radios may take years and making millions of much-loved Analogue Radio sets useless will no doubt be controversial. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/3652202.stm DRM Shortwave Radio - Has It Died ! ~ RHF { And Does Anyone Really Care ? } I personally find it astounding that anyone believes that DRM will do anything to help commercial HF broadcasting. It has no appeal for those, like me, who'd rather not see the HF bands destroyed. Nor will DRM appeal to the millions of "average Joe" consumers who'll view it as a perverse twist on an already puzzling medium. DRM consortium says: "Take advantage of the world's only, open standard digital radio system for short-wave, AM/medium-wave and long-wave." Consumers hear: "Come buy this special receiver that will allow you to hear all of those broadcasts that don't interest you--with digital quality audio!!" Nevermind the dropped signals, of course. My prediction: DRM won't be around long enough to ruin HF. |
