[Electronics-talk] The digital radio TV from Oehm

[Gerald Levy]

No, the radio has a built-in DTV tuner.  You just connect it to an external 
antenna, and have the tuner scan for available channels in your area.

>>
>> Oehm Electronics offers DTV Radio
>>
>> The demise of radio tuners that can receive TV broadcasts has resulted in

>> remote control attached to the right-hand face of the DTV cabinet, the
>> approximate dimensions of which are 14 by 12 by 3 inches. Because the 
>> unit

>> Instead, sequences of button presses on the control panel perform 
>> specific
>> functions.
>> To assist with this process, a Braille diagram of the controls is

>> If the intent of the DTV Radio is to provide a custom product to a select

>> manner,
>> the DTV Radio succeeds in meeting this goal.
>>
>>
>> The DTV Radio costs $175 plus shipping and is available from Oehm
>> Electronics, (408) 971-6250, or
>> oehmelec at comcast.net.
