I guess the US isn't part of "worldwide." Last I heard, IBOC was the mistake of choice in the US. So far as I know only IBOC and Kahn's CAM-D are the only systems in contention here, with CAM-D to roll out soon with several stations on board and receivers coming soon. Are you lumping DRM and IBOC together? Today, DRM is the world's only non-proprietary, digital system for short, medium and long wave with the ability to use existing frequencies and bandwidth across the globe. CAM-D is compatible with all of the above. By "non-proprietary" do you mean to say that the patent holders of DRM are giving it away with no manufacturer's licensing fees? I speak with a lot of stations. Not one has mentioned DRM as something they're considering. Rich |

Are you lumping DRM and IBOC together? No, DRM signals are already audible all over the US. It's not legal to transmit the stuff, but it's certainly legal to receive it, and there is plenty of DRM shortwave stuff coming over the horizon. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.
