[Electronics-talk] accessible HD radio, are there any

[David Andrews]

Ray, there is no way to know the answer to your question.  However, 
this effort may have a slightly better chance then previous ones, as 
iBiquity Digital is behind it, and they are the people who developed 
the HD technology.  So they have more of a vested interest in its 
success, and don't have other products, like Best Buy or Dice Electronics did.
