Phil, all the big retailers sell thousands of Mono FM sets every year.

They're called clock radios....

Just one question: Where can you buy a MONO-FM set today? IOW, the time
will
come when all radios are IBOC capable. If you look at the innards of the
Sangean, (mostly empty space) it begins to look like the pocket portable
is
much closer than many think. There are factors that will tend to speed
the
transition once sets begin to become more widespread. I agree it could
have
been done in a much better way, but this is the way it will be.
