[BC] AM Stereo

[RichardBJohnson at comcast.net]

Chris Payne, former Chief Engineer of the NAB, headed up the Motorola development. It turned out to be such a quagmire that he quit and moved to Capetown, South Africa. I couldn't make this up! http://www.e-test.com/SALE-ETC.HTM

My recollection is that Motorola even sued National Semiconductor that made the mutli-system chip used by Sony because it violated some of their patents.   Sony was the only major manufacturer that made at least two versions of their car radios with AM stereo and the two speaker portable stereo unit, the AM Stereo walkman and two AM Stereo Boomboxes .
