Analog Tuner Existence.....


Hi Everyone,

Have any of you heard whether or not analog FM broadcasting will still be around or not for a few years? I want to buy a fairly good tuner for listening to my public radio station, but heard rumor FM broadcast days might be numbered by digital's taking over. Any of you know or heard? Thanks! -Brian.

Once in a while the local NPR station (WAMC) stops its left wing diatribe long enough to broadcast some live music. Even over the radio music that has never been run through a tape recorder sounds more real.
Perhaps digital radio will produce decent stereo. Except in strong signal areas the difference signal that is combined with the mono (sum) signal to derive stereo is so noisy that it is often best to switch to mono reception.
