Barry is  right DRE is not IBOC because it rides on the analog carrier. The 
technology will migrate with a station when and if  opts to go IBOC because 
the two technologies are compatible with each other. So it can stand alone 
today and be a nice compliment to IBOC later.

You can place a second or third stereo station in digital on your main 
carrier using DRE's FMeXtra or several mono services. The other plus for the 
receiver MFGers is that it is a code load Vs a total redesign which requires 
chipsets to be bought.
