Here's a question. *Why would anyone in their right mind spend over
two hundred dollars for a small table radio who's sound quality is
marginal at best?

One, prices are going down rapidly. Radio Shack has had units on sale for
$99, in fact.

Second, the HD audio on FM is superior to the analog FM audio. AM is
digital, and free of most man-made and ambient interference.

"Meet your new competition"

"And demand for all Internet services - not simply audio - will drive
product development, marketing, and sales. In other words, the
platform will not have to be sold. It will just have to be bought. And
that's a key distinction differentiating these services from satellite
and HD radio - both of which need both selling and buying. And right
now there's a whole lot of the former going on and not enough of the
latter. By necessity, satellite is already branching into video and
WiFi solutions while HD radio is still trying to emerge from its
shell."

What you are attempting to do, is exactly what is wrong with HD Radio.

HD Radios are now available in all platforms - table top, auto and
componant
for audiophiles.

All HD radio's incorporate analog as well as IBOC receivers.

Portable? Wearable?

Read the March 1st Radio World. New chip, 9mm, smaller, 90% less power
consumption, suitable for very small portable devices. Fabrication beginning
second half of 2007.

An HD FM component receiver plugs into any audio amplifier like in an
existing Home Theatre system.

This just confirms, the lack of interest for HD Radio, on Google

"Rethinking AM's Future"

"Only 175 or so AM stations have even licensed AM-HD. For a number of
reasons, quite a few have tried it and taken it off the air, or so the
anecdotal evidence suggests. Ibiquity no longer reports in its public
summaries whether a station is on the air. Making AM-HD work well as a
long-term investment is seen as an expensive and risky challenge for
most stations and their owners. With the bulk of successful AMs airing
news, talk and sports, the improved fidelity advantage of HD and
stereo seem only marginally attractive. There is the significant
downside of potential new interference to some of their own AM analog
listeners as well as listeners of adjacent-channel stations. And of
course we still have no nighttime authority for AM-HD."

Existing RDS has the same texting functions, as HD/IBOC. For now, HD
Radio/IBOC is dead.

only
lower-class citizens shop at Wal Mart, just like K Mart and any big-
box retailer. I shopped at Wal Mart, at the beach, and I felt like I
stepped into a thrid-world country.

Of course, this is not true, either.

About 1/3 of WalMart shoppers are what they call "value conscious" which is
the internal term for middle and upper income consumers who buy staples at
WalMart because they are frugal and like a good deal.

And that is approximately the number of viable AMs in the top 75 markets.
65% of the US population lives in the top 75 markets.

Most of those Wal Mart shoppers around here are S..theads.They clog up
the isles and they never look where they are going.I wish I had some
kind of a little ZAPPER thingy I could take with me in there and
ZAPP/MICROWAVE/FRY!!! every one of those ''democrat'' S..theads.
A cell phone Jammer too.I wish I owned something that would ''Kill'' all
