[Electronics-talk] Narrator HD Radio

[David Andrews]

I did see a message from a Best Buy person -- and they said that 
their manufacturer of this radio was having "business problems" and 
could no longer make it.  They said they are looking for another 
manufacturer, and expect to have it available after the first of the 
year.  They also gave the impression that the existing inventory 
wasn't that large -- we shall see.

You are right that Best Buy's overall position is probably precarious 
at best -- we shall see.
