What's this? ...... No HD Radio!

... "Bob Campbell" wrote in message ... "Brenda Ann" wrote in message ... Pretty large selection of radios at our PX (and those in Seoul, Osan). Well that is not the U.S., is it? I was talking about the U.S. Lots of countries where radio is still viable. Actually, it is... since the only radio any GI listens to is Armed Forces Network. Local radio and television are non-starters here (at least the local TV is NTSC-M, American channelization, so if we wanted to we COULD watch it!!) There's no OTA HD, no QRM producing IBOC.. Right, but that is a skewed sample. You have Americans far from home looking to buy something on which they can hear music/news from home. So they want a radio. If they could hear music/news from home with a ham sandwich, then ham sandwiches would be selling in the PX. So it is a *very* skewed sample. Walk into any dept store/Walmart/Best Buy/whatever in the U.S. How many radios are for sale these days? How many were for sale 20 years ago? 40? 60? There is a definite downward trend. Also, you never explained what "i-shlock" was. |

Insignia is to Best Buy what Kenmore is to Sears... the house label. I have several of their smaller HDTVs and they are really superior to the other lower-end brands. |

Insignia is made by 'LG' for Best Buy. LG makes better than average quality LCD flatscreen HDTV's. Not high end but better than many. |

Anyone have any specific horror stories about LCD TVs or Plasma TVs trashing their ability to Listen to the HF Bands with their Shortwave Radios. 2 - We are at 4000 Feet here in Twain Harte, CA so do Plasma TVs fail early at higher elevations. -or- is that just a rumor ? -or- has that problem been fixed ? informed opinions please ~ RHF |
