Whether it's generating revenue, or consuming it, it's *always* going to be 
cannibalizing your *neighbors'* main channels. That's a given. (Especially on 
AM.)

Rich, I don't see your posts has harping at all. When it comes to IBUZ, we 
are in complete agreement. I think that the answer is the DRM (or is it DRE?) 
which uses the subcarrier channels to deliver it's digital audio streams. (And 
that you only have to pay for *once!*) Unfortunately for us AM's, there is no 
solution except to move to another band. Sigh.

I think the point of the car owners returning cars for "radio problems" isn't 
going to be limited to BMW. Whichever other manufacturers start including 
IBUZ receivers will be seeing similar issues. Since you have car dealers in the 
family, you are uniquely qualified to inform us as to what's *really* happening 
out there among the "great unwashed masses".
