"Why don't you use DRM on Shortwave?"

"Some large companies are pushing DRM by convincing program producers
and broadcasters to start airing in DRM ahead of time, but unless
there is mass availability and penetration of receivers on the
listeners side, this will remain - unfortunately - a technological
experiment, and broadcasters using it to reach their listeners now,
are clearly throwing their money out of the window."

DRM on shortwave is dead - wow, only two very expensive receivers...

There are no portables I am aware of due to the power requirements of
DRM but it looks like there may be some models in the near future.

Example http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/portable/0023.html

One thing that makes me leery of purchasing a DRM receiver is the
firmware is a compilation of licensed software. The software agreements
can change and you have no control over it.

Booble{Head}Stubble,

After a day of thinking about it, I don't understand DRM. The main targeting
audience for SW broadcasting from the big countries is poorer areas in the
world who barely can afford a simple SW radio, let alone a DRM radio that
will cost more than a year's salary there. Could you imagine listening to
Ralph Stair on high-def radio??????

DRM - To some in Business and Government
the word "Digital" Means everything 'futuristic".

The only way that DRM really gets off-the-ground
is for the Broadcasters to support {subsidize} the
Price of the DRM Stand-A-Lone Receivers.
* Low Power DRM Chip-Sets
* FREE Plug-and-Play DRM Radio Softwave
on a DVD or USB Flash Drive Memory Stick ]

change comes at a 'price'
and drm is change ~ RHF

In 10 years time most receivers will be SDR (software
defined receivers). Then DRM decoding is simply a matter
of choosing the right software. Look at WinRad.

Er, one application is what I believe Radio NZ International is
already exploiting with its DRM transmissions to small Pacific Island
rebroadcasters..

The Major Broadcaster provides programming in DRM for high-quality
relay transmissions by a small organisation.

You might doubt and query: why not do that via satellite feed?

Ah, that might be outside the financial capabilities of the receiving
re-broadcast station.

You might not believe it, but (a recent report) highlighted lack of
simple office equipment such as chairs as being a problem for the
Solomon Islands Broadcasting Corporation... the SLBC also I recall has
had difficulty paying its electricity bill.

Nobody,

If that works for Radio New Zealand to the Islands
then it can work for Caribbean Island and many
Countries in African DRM as a lower cost Radio
distribution system then Satellite Based Systems.

what works WORKS ! ~ RHF

RHF and Nobody,

You are both correct. RNZI regard DRM as a redbroadcasting "option
(medium) to us isolated and fiscally challenged Islanders where high
speed digital access re. Satellite reception is expensive or just not
available.

This can be "really useful" in times of national emergencies such as
cyclones here. All we have is da magic radio (local LPFM) to tell us
what is going on "out there" and when we should dig a big hole and
hunker down. Hate that.!!!!
