Really?SS.. Their challenge is to sell any radios.


iBiquity is in real denial. *I went to Best Buy on Saturday to get
something and took a trip by the radios as I usually do. *Three Sony
XDRS3HD's have been sitting the display shelf for MONTHS for $199.95.
At one point one of them was sold but was quickly returned a week
later. *On Saturday ALL THREE were marked down to $119.95 with a big
CLEARANCE tag on them.


Sorry iBiquity but this is not the sign of a product that is going
anywhere. *You can spin it all you want but HD Radio dead.


Would you invest in a company like this???


- They need to come out with the 2nd generation radios
- that can also be software upgradable.

This is a very important feature in all-things-digital
especially with evolving new technology.

- I would not buy what is currently offered.

Oops - I Did and It was an Oops ! ~ RHF

-but- That will be resolved when HD-Radio goes to 4%
of the Analog ERP from 1% and hopefully I will be living
with-in the AM/MW 10 mV/M and FM 64 dBu Contours
of the CA Central Valley Radio Stations in Modesto etc.


I hope that does not ever happen and if it does it will not solve all
the reception problems. You do not understand the technology. Realize
that fact.
