"We've located what looks like a suitable AM/FM tuner module, but we're still trying to prise samples out of the company concerned. They seemed very upset that we'd like to buy some of them and did everything they could to slow us down..."

I dont understand why they wouldnt want you to purchase some of their product? Is it because of the small quantities involved?

I think AM is more commonly used in the US for traffic and sports broadcasts than it seemed to be in the UK. I dont know how many others would agree with me, but I would really appreciate it if you could find an AM/FM tuner.
