[Electronics-Talk] [Electronics-talk] CCrane radio

[David Andrews]

While I don't have actual experience with this, i understand that 
listening to a live radio, at a sporting event can have another 
problem. The radio broadcast,, for a variety of technical, and/or 
programming reasons can be substantially delayed from the action on 
the field or court.  This could be anything from a few seconds, to 20 
seconds or more, from what I understand.  There are ways to mitigate 
this, but they aren't always done.
