We may be looking at severe shortages of some new ham radio gear due to AKM fact

I was asked, yet another weird question, of how I would like to be buried, when I finally bite the big one. The answer was actually pretty easy. Face-down, like a certain historical figure in the late 1980's, (I will not mention who, but some of you will get it, and that's enough.) Why??? It would be a burial that will satisfy everyone: (1) My enemies will say that it will show me where to go. (2) On the same point, I can have my enemies kiss my butt. (3) It will temporarily give someone a place to park a bicycle. See??? A WIN / WIN for everyone.

AKM makes a lot of ASIC's for audio applications.  I have digital Behringer gear with AKM IC's in it.  This will be widespread across the industry.

Fortunately, TI (Burr-Brown), Cirrus Logic, etc also make competing parts, but redesign doesn't happen overnight.
