Subject: RE:  DAB Features

Re: DAB implemnetation and improvements.

I agree that sound is the central feature of this new technology. And
it is one hell of an improvement over AM, which he most parts of the
world is like listening to music or talk through a garbage can. It is
also an enormous improvement over FM since it is an absolutely clear
non interfered signal. Even here in Ottawa which is not exactly
Metroplis, multipath is a pain to any mobile listener. Why put up
with it when we don't have to.

However the potential for value added services down the road is just
as exciting and they should not be sold short. If radio is to be a
player in the information digital world, it has to be more than just
bad sound with modest RDS features..GPS, interconnect, downloading
and internet capacity are all real possibilities that weren't on the
horizon a couple of years ago. Anybody in the radio industry should
get behind this technology big time...Your future business success
depends on making the transition to a digital world. This is a
replacement technology and Eureka 147 is the only proven platform that
performs. I wish I could convince my American cousins to see the
light, before it's too late.
