Onkel Senger Wants YOU!

Our esteemed colleague and DRM enthusiast, Peter Senger wants you to help him get a new run of DR111 receivers manufactured. In addition he is pushing for an initial order of the upcoming DR212 also from CDNSE. This is really exciting news and I hope he can get the needed takers to have these receivers into mass production soon! Viva la DRM revolución! More information here and here.

New DRM receiver from CDNSE in 2014?

According to postings from Peter Senger, there will be a new DRM portable available, likely in 2014. The Newstar people (CDNSE) plan to release the DR212. Once again, Mr. Senger is looking for people to pre-order to get the price down.

Here is a PDF of specifications. I have written to CDNSE to see if we can get further details. It is a good looking radio with features similar to the DR111. I'm guessing this unit is their response to the tender from AIR.

Thanks to Alokesh for the heads-up!

UPDATE 20140211: Rafael notes that "DR212 will only get produced if NewStar wins the AIR 800 receivers tender."
