Ah, very good! Glad to see that it is not vaporware! I want to see this 
system succeed for a number of reasons. Call me an FMeXtra "cheerleader" and I'll 
be happy with that moniker! ;)

Those "Tivoli" radios are already a bit pricey, so I'd like to see something 
a little more economical... but this is at least a good start! How they will 
work in the real world... and how many stations will light up that nifty little 
$9,000 box - that is going to be the big test.

If I had an FM station, I'd be even *more* keenly interested in this! The 
main purpose I'd want this for is a digital SCA service. Any specs available, 
like the maximum practical data thruput? If it's 96Kbps or more, that would sure 
be a plus! (That would match IBUZ at a tiny fraction of the cost!)
