How many years ago was it that I was at the Fest hearing that DRM radios would be out for Christmas? When looking at the DRM site it looks like there is one radio available in the UK for DRM. How much money has been spent on this? The BBC and others say they can¹t continue to broadcast on SW because of the cost? How many hours could have been broadcast if they did not test DRM. The other point was SW has a shrinking audience? Well DRM has no audience, it can¹t since no one can listen. (or I should say no one that has not connected a radio to a PC, installed modifications, obtained the software). What ever happened to ³if it isn't broke don¹t fix it².
