Germany.  This is an all band plus FM receiver that is Digital
Radio Mondiale capable on the Shortwave, Medium Wave and Long

In reply and with reference to the statement that says, "It is also expected to be the first consumer level Digital Radio Mondiale receiver authorized by the FCC for sale in the United States."

Please be advised that a DRM decoder was always available as a software program.  While the introduction of a complete receiver is a step forward, the ability of individuals to decode DRM is not new.
