Can we get DRM signals here in the US? Most DRM broadcasters are in EU.

Yes. I think you are the first person to ask. Most people don't care
except for the interference it creates.

It looks like the first foot fall in a long journey from
'analog' to Digital on the shortwave Radio Bands.

Ugly muther****er, and probably will be a very expensive POS.

"Death of Digital Radio Mondiale in 2008 as well?"

"From both formal and informal discussions among participants at the
HFCC, it is now clear that the proposed DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale)
system, that would have converted analogue Shortwave to digital, FM
like quality reception would hardly be implemented if ever on a large
scale, beyond the current experimental stage."

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

"DRM is the acronym of Digital Radio Mondiale, a new technology
intended to offer digital, almost FM, quality to Shortwave, Long Wave
and Medium Wave (AM) broadcasts. Unfortunately DRM is incompatible
with ordinary Shortwave radios and requires buying new receivers, that
are not currently available in mass production, or at a cost that is
anywhere close to a conventional, analogue Shortwave receiver... 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."

No one will buy DAB/DRM radios, when analog sets are as cheap as $10

I agree with him - It's ugly - not to mention the fact that nobody
wants it.

Then the free market will decide. It will be expensive and a few radio
junkies might buy it.

But some European and Oceania shortwave broadcasters are putting a lot
of effort into DRM. I have no idea why they would do this.

There would be no market for this in the 3rd world. Maybe Japan/
Australia/New Zealand is their target area for buying this radio.

Used to be that SW broadcasts were the way to get a country's message out to
the rest of the world. It seems that isn't the point anymore, they don't
care if they serve anyone but their own country or expats. Nobody cares
about the third world anymo they don't have money for expensive digital
radios, and they don't have internet..

The 3rd world is, in some respects, more technologically advanced than
the USA. For example, they leaped over copper and went straight to
wireless for their telephones.
