In car DAB/DRM receivers

[N_Scheer]

Hi all,
Have a look at the following link : http://www.xtalize.com/info2.cfm?info_id=30854

This company can deliver DAB/DRM radios as own-brand. For cars they can produce DAB/DRM adaptors as well as for homes completely designed in-home DAB/DRM sets.
You can even purchase the software to program the RS500 DAB/DRM module.

... if you have a second look, the specifications tell, other than the headlines, only of DAB. :(

Looks like the new company is founded by a former Radioscape manager and if the DAB modules used in the new sets are the RS500, then they will be able to also upgrade to DRM.
The CA-200 unit looks very simular to the Starwaves/Radioscape DRM car set being tested by Peter Senger, and even shares the same model number,

hopefully it will go on sale soon!

Today, its just one year that Sangean announces DRM Radios on its Website under 'News' -----COMING SOON----

SAD SAD SAD!

Seems Thiecom.de now say October delivery for the Sangean!!
However some Roberts branded sets have been given out on the BBC Devon test. Perhaps the delay is connected to the new Sangean factory setting up?.

However for the new Xtalize DRM car units, from the Xtalize website there is now a link to the Grandex factory where they are being made, the DAB/DRM set is the CA310 model and there are photos, but does not seem to be on sale under any European brand yet!

The DW website following up IFA 2006 seems to indicate Starwaves will be the first European brand and a potential price!

As the pioneer in DRM radio technology, the company Starwaves again presented its high-end receiver W37D. The firm also presented a solution enabling existing car radios to be adapted for DAB reception. This capability is also being developed for DRM, as well. The manufacturer expects to market the technology for approximately 200 €.

All the web sites given seem to be in German - I don't suppose any kind polyglot would care to translate...?!
