provide the following information and I hope to be able to link to a

Hi Folks!
I know the majority of list members reside in the United States thus the

You would be better off getting an entry level HD radio instead of buying
the Dice unit. See if Best Buy still have any of the Narrator radios for
sale.
Frankly there isn't much to offer in the home market for HD radio unless you
buy a stereo receiver with HD built in.

Hi John,
I agree - a good analogy - similar to the HDMI mess, which seems to be settling
down with HDMI 1.3 for now. However, Onkyo has a component HD radio tuner that
also has satellite connectivity as well as Internet radio. The interface is
'future proof' with RS-232 connection
. The US went down their own
road, but eventually GSM, the world standard, has started to dominate.
I hope HD Radio dies a natural death, as I don't particularly like the idea
of having to have one radio for the US when I travel there, and another for
the rest of the world. I'm sure people from
