[BC] The best ... and the worst

[Barry Mishkind]

One supposes that the end of a year would lead to this....

What do you think was the best new product in 2006?  The absolute worst.
What do you see as the best new product to be introduced in 2007?

On a scale of 1 to 10:

2006 Best
	
	IBOC receivers from
		Boston Acoustics,
		Polk,
		Kenwood,
		Radio Shack,
		Sangean
	Higher powered FM Tube transmitters
	Water-cooled, high-power FM transmitters
	Comrex  ACCESS
	Optimod 9400
	Anritsu 2721A Spectrum Analyzer
	(add your suggestion here)

2006 Worst
	
	(I'll let you start this one, but please do not
	add the IBOC receivers here. They may not
	be worth a 10, or even a 5, but the manufacturers
	*did* extend their money and effort to provide
	support for digital transmissions.)

2007 Anticipated products

	Nautel direct transmitter Remote Control over IP
	(add a selection here)


It would be helpful to the list, if you would edit/trim the
posts, so they are not endless quotes.....
