Indeed.  The Canadians are using a digital system similar to or perhaps
identical to the European system, operating at frequencies in the hundreds
of MegaHertz, I think.  In the U.S., all we have is "High Definition" Radio
where digital information is encoded on the same frequencies as the analog
transmissions.  The two systems aren't compatible.  We won't be able to
broadcast back and forth across the border if these two digital systems
ever become the "law of the land", but they don't seem to be catching on in
a big way yet.

Cheers,
Jerry

Aha!  If it's digital broadcasting, we're sunk on this side of the
Atlantic.
