[James Somich]

Couldn't resist and longer and opened up the Sangean HDT-1

There are 3 boards inside: HD Radio Tuner (LG Innotek), Display &
Controller, and P.S./amplifier.

Here is the LG Press Release


    LG Innotek To Actualize High-Efficiency Thin HD Radio Module Concept
2006-02-06





LG Innotek (CEO: Young-Ho Hur, www.lginnotek.com) will commence development
of an HD Radio Module specially designed for American digital radio as part
of a strategy to advance research in conceptually new module businesses.

LG Innotek will focus on the development of innovative digital module
products based upon RF tuner development with an emphasis placed upon
achieving products of universal purpose and production capacity.

To date, this company has already developed video modules that feature
digital tuners coupled with an MPEG decoder (last year). These video modules
are currently in production.

The HD radio module that LG Innotek developed is proud of its excellent
signal reception. As well, this HD radio module takes full advantage of the
digital signal's high quality and available services, which far surpass what
analog radio can offer consumers. As a bonus, HD radio can also receive
digital radio broadcasts without being charged any fees, in contrast to
current satellite radio systems.

LG Innotek is embarking upon a long-term strategy to record its first sales
of $ 10 million in 2008.

LG Innotek has already contracted a ubiquitous-radio technology company
which has a license contract permitting access to intellectual property
rights regarding American standard methods to develop HD radio reception
modules.
