The newest press release
here (the older press release is
here). This is the chip Gospell is using in its new portable, the
GR-221 (available soon). This looks to be a real game-changer due to it being an all-in-one solution, having low power consumption (30+ hours on 3 AA batteries, including the possibility of a solar powered and cranked models) and its affordable cost (<$20 USD). It should yield a whole new crop of receivers that will be ideal for the burgeoning Asian DRM markets of China, India and Pakistan. Now all we need to do is to convince the North American shortwave broadcasters that the time has come for regular DRM broadcasting.
Mouser plans to stock the chip soon. This novel DRM solution
debuted at BES in February of this year.
