Since all of you are obvioulsy well-versed in SW radio, any thoughts on
this receiver:

http://www.universal-radio.com/CATAL...alty/0111.html

I am NOT interested in any thoughts from Edurado, but I am sure, he
will be along shortly. Are Sangean receivers any good, and how is the
company doing financially. I am hoping, as with the Receptor HD on
Amazon.com/hdradio, there will be little interest from consumers.
Thanks.

I am not well versed on this model, but when are we going to see shortwave
radios that have HD and DRM, as well as USB, firewire , and Bluetooth out
plugs?!

It seems shortwave manufacturers are stuck in the nineties and late
eighties. Maybe this is why everybody on EBay is clamoring for old Grundig
Satalit's!

The sooner DRM dies the better.

The HD radios in the link above are still vaporware. No real
specifications to speak of in the links. Note all the vaporware to date
need AC power. You are not going to be running these radios on batteries.

Just curious, what is wrong with DRM? Haven't heard it yet, but hopefully in
the near future I will.

I've heard it. It just sound like a bunch of noise that covers three
channels on a analog receiver but that is not what you meant.

You can go to the DRM consortium web site and hear some recorded
transmissions. Prepare to be underwhelmed.
