At this point it would not cost a lot of money to make a dedicated DSP
chip that would decode AM, DSBRC, and SSB at an IF of 445kHz. Possibly
a brodcasters or radio manufacturer's association could get together and
bankroll it.

Might just be better to a "dual system." AM would have to go, but you
could run, say, USB analog and use the LSB for a digital carrier ...
people would yell, scream, pull their hair out, etc. ... but we did go
all digital TV and just ram it down the oppose'rs throats ... just look
at the tons of old analog TV's sitting around that you can't even get a
digital box to slap on now ... never say never, to anything ...
