I learned to DX and what kind of radio gives the most bang for the buck.

What is the real deal with DRM?

"Change" if not "progress". [smile]

Are analog SW radios going away?

I've got a Ten*Tec RX-320 abd can have it
converted for U$60 and buy the software
for another U$60 (last year anyway).

So, U$120 to play with a few stations.


Most commercial and national shortwave
broadcasters are much more interested
in reaching an audience of ten of
thousands (more or less) rather than
23 listeners.

So - for most folks - there would be the
necessity of buying a new shortwave
radio but for what?


And - going from the experience of a domestic broadcasting in Single-Side Ban
- which went over like sumthin or anudder - no one (with the exception, of
course, of bleeding edge pre-early adapters) - is going to rush to go with
DRM.

The above is solely my opinion and I haven't paid any attention to DRM since
the first few months after it was introduced. (I'm not overly excited, as you
prolly tell [grin].)



Have any of
you invested in a DRM capable receiver and how are they? Should I begin to
move towards DRM and if so, what receivers will pick up and decode those
signals? What are the limitations, or the cons if any, of DRM?
