[SBE] Congratulations DTV and a request

[Glenn Little WB4UIV]

Currently a portable DTV receiver is the only option.

I would guess that, if there is enough demand, some of the radio 
manufactures would incorporate a ATSC tuner into their portable radios.

This might not be feasible as 8VSB is not a stellar performer in 
mobile applications and does not appear to decode well in high 
vibration and reflection areas.
