John, thanks for the input. My thoughts exactly so I went to the Stuttgart 
receiver of DX tuners to have a listen. Sure enough, nothing but hiss and 
garble. I would think that if they were broadcasting in analog, I would have 
heard something. Very strange indeed. More research needed.

  Chris, As to your comment about DRM in Germany, don't you think that 171 
  broadcasts (transmits) in both standard analog AM and also in DRM. That is 
  what I believe they are doing as they would not change over and lose their 
  regular audience.
  Also, Europe does do a lot of Satellite transmitting in several coding 
  formats. Take a look at any UK or German Radio Vendors web site to see how 
  many versions of digital receivers they sell. I usually like to check Waters 
  & Stanton" in the UK for my info. They have one of the best catalogs in 
  the business and they are very honest. I have purchased from them for 
  years.
  You may also want to check out the DRM web site. I think you will find 
  that there are several ways to transmit DRM, including concurrent with an 
  analog signal.
