DRMNA: Interview with Mike of PantronX, maker of the Titus II
Those of you following the upcoming Titus II receiver will enjoy reading this interview with Mike of Pantronix. Here's a short excerpt taken from DRMNA.info:
[DRMNA] Can you tell us a little about the process taken to develop the new receiver?
[Mike] We became aware of the need for a digital capable receiver by a visit from TWR representatives about three years ago. Having designed RF products and receivers in the past, it intrigued me that there were no low cost method to receive DRM. This began research into the problem. Initially we envisioned and designed what we call an ATU (Antenna Tuner Unit) that plugged into a 'standard' Android tablet. Unfortunately as time and testing proved, ready made tablets had varying problems from vendor to vendor, model to model. The decision was made about a year ago that we had to do our own Android 'tablet' and integrate the ATU into it. Hence the Titus II was developed.["]
