I have played with DRM and I am very underwealmed. DRM radios consume much more energy, IE much shorter battery life, then analog. A lot of users have no access to "made" electricity and have to rely on batteries. The greater radio complexity also promises greater user headaches. Just my thoughts. Terry You are talking about the first generation of a technology. You could also say the same thing about digital displays on portable SW radios when they were first available. A portable CD player can run 50-80 hours on two AA batteries. Would you have expected that when CDs were first introduced? Think about where the technology could go. It can go to hell and take its QRM with it! Just my opinion. dxAce Michigan USA If it is anything like IBOC, they can keep it. While IBOC touts the benefits of their modulation scheme, they don't bother to tell anybody that their hybrid transmissions consume (yes consume) three channels of broadcasting space on the medium wave band. (I know I've said this before). All of this, and you get to pay a licensing fee! Pete |
