[Heathkit] H.R. 7157

[James C. Owen, III]

Not a bill we should be concerned with. Here is the major text of the bill.

Require that apparatus shipped in interstate commerce or manufactured in the United States that is designed to receive signals broadcast in both the satellite digital audio radio service and the terrestrial AM or FM radio broadcast service be equipped with technology that is capable of receiving and playing digital radio signals as transmitted by terrestrial AM or FM stations.'.
