Dennis...

You gave me a good Christmas Day LOL on this one. The scary thing about it
is there is more truth than fiction in your message.

Have a merry one.

> The perfect radio system (Transmit & Receive) would be microprocessor
based.
> DSP core, easily reprogrammed (for the changing tides of technology).
>
> The transmit side should be easily programmed/updated to encode IBOC, DRE
or
> any other dream the FCC or manufactures can come up with, all in one box.
> Royalty free.  Could be bi-phase L, Quadra phase or even eight phase, FEC,
> interleaved. A watch-dog circuit to regularly reboot the box when it
quits.
>
> The receivers should be easily programmed/updated (using a special CD/DVD)
> to receive and decode anything the transmitters are throwing at it.
> Including satcasters or IP.
> The receive RF section should be digitally tuned at the front end
(selective
> and sensitive) with variable bandwidth and capable of receiving anything
> from DC to the speed of light.
> The antenna inputs should be diversity capable again under microprocessor
> control, using flash memory.
> The receivers output should be both analog and digital (TOS) to interface
> with the amp of your choice ($26.95 to $5,000.00).
> Also should be able to operate from -20F to +160F in the rain if
necessary.
>
> This system, of course would operate using Windows XP (enhanced) or any
> other flavor of OS.  With a very large reboot button on the front (for the
> BSOD) with a 3.5mm multipurpose jack on the front for headphones and data
> output to connect to your cell phone or service monitor to upload error
> reports for tech support.
> A Fire wire port could be used here for faster data transfer or external
> accessories.
>
> To keep it cheep, the receivers would be mostly on one LSI chip, except
for
> the RF and audio amp. sections.
> This would make it small enough for everything from a walkman to a
component
> sized units.
>
> An SD card slot on the higher end receivers for recording and playback
would
> be nice.
>
> Every one makes money due to its expandability, Best Buys and Circuit City
> would love this.
