Sorry to be unclear.  I wasn't saying that analog radios are boat anchors.  

I was replying to someone's post that said that (paraphrasing) digital
radios that can't be upgraded are boat anchors.  Here it is:

I replied,

>That would make analog AM/FM radios in new cars today "boat anchors", since
>they cannot be upgraded either.

In other words, I was disagreeing with the whole boat anchor idea for analog
and digital radios.
