Dane, Is this similar to our AM HD broadcasting in the United States? I wonder if this is the same station I used to enjoylistening to some years back. It was a regional Australian station broadcasting local programming and news, not the overseas service, and I used to hear it often in the morning here in Minnesota on the 31 meter band. It would be interesting to see if the DRM signal would come through here. It used to put in a pretty stable signal considering the distance.

Ausie Radio - Australia's only domestic Shortwave broadcaster - is hoping to soon broadcast using DRM, they're just requiring the appropriate approvals. This will mean FM quality sound through your DRM receiver and will not affect the standard Shortwave broadcast. The idea of DRM is to reduce fading and all the other affects standard analogue Shortwave reception is known for but there ar downsides. The reception of the signal has to be solid or the DRM portion won't be heard and you'll only hear the Analogue Shortwave signal instead. Tecsun have a DRM model available and Tecsun Radios in Australia should be receiving stock of this shortly. Other International Shortwave broadcasters are using DRM on a regular basis including Radio New Zealand's Pacific service and Radio India. If you don't have a DRM capable radio then you can buy radio sets with connections to enable the radio to be connected to a computer running the appropriate DRM decoding software, examples of such compatible radio sets are the CC SW and Tecsun S-2000 or Grundig Satelite 750. -- ********** "A dog is a good thing to have around a house and so is a fence" ********** -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Groups.io Links: You receive all messages sent to this group.
