I would like to see radio go digital. In that, compression algorithms 
covert audio into bit steams, which a digital radio receives on a RF 
carrier and decodes to audio fed to the speaker.

I would like to see something open source used, in the encoding 
algorithms, like the Ogg Vorbis protocol, so anyone can create software 
to encode/decode the streams without infringing on someones patent 
rights, and so it is open source.

Cheap converters should be able to be produced which decode the audio 
bit streams and produce a voice modulated signal to feed to old analog 
radios ... but then, people in hell want ice water ...

I have a certain fondness for analog signals the fact very simple simple 
circuits can be used to construct a radio ... but, it is time.
