My comments on Ramsey's article:

"HD Radio technology company iBiquity Digital estimates about 200,000
HD radios were sold last year [2006]..."

"Finally some hard numbers on HD radio sales: 330,000 sold in 2007, up
from 40,000 receivers in 2006."

So, which is it - 200,000 HD radios sold in 2006, or 40,000? What's
needed are a couple of well-respected independent auditors to get a
"real" count of the actual number of HD radios sold, where money
actually changed hands, and not counting "trade" purchases, returns,
and HD radio giveaways by stations and car dealerships - the actual
number of "Joe Blow" consumers that bought and kept HD radios. No
doubt, the number would be much lower. Do we remember the HD/QVC sales
fiasco, where only 200 HD radios were reportedly sold - I bet, that
half were returned. Could this be a count of HD Radio chipsets
produced and HD radios manufactured? Is it realistic to assume, that
retailers are still reporting back the dismal sales numbers?

Finally, here is proof to the contrary:

"DEAD AIR: Radio's great leap forward stalling in the Valley"

"Retailers say no one is buying HD radios in South Texas despite
scattered attempts by broadcasters to promote the digital signal
technology..."

http://www.themonitor.com/news/radio...gital_new.html

"HD Radio Has Yet To Take Off"

"But the technology hasn't taken off as expected. NBC 5 could not find
one person who owns a hi-def radio and neither could KISS FM's program
director. I don't know anybody that has one yet, Davis said."

http://www.nbc5i.com/technology/14878368/detail.html

"High-def radio is here, but is anyone listening?"

"But 19 Utah stations are broadcasting 31 high-definition radio
channels with six more coming soon... It seems the stations are
investing in technology the public isn't quite ready to embrace....
Some have heard it referred to but never had cause to get one. Unless
you are a gadget person, few of these radios have sold."

http://www.sltrib.com/technology/ci_7852904

"HD's here. Who's listening?"

"But consumers haven't exactly been stampeding to electronics stores
for the new HD Radio sets that are required to tune in the digital
signals."

Actually, I'm using my Sony 2010 lately by the bed with Kiwa mods. My E1 is
at my cabin because of it's superior audio and XM capability.
