One of the disadvantages of DAB and DAB+ is that portable receivers
require a great deal more power to operate than analogue ones.

This is untrue of course.

More Dennis.

There is less chippery in a modern digital set so they use less power.

Except for DAB and its additional codec, which has a long track-record
of being power-hungry to a point that made battery operation
impractical.

Only very recently, such that "old stock" radios are still on the
shelves, have low-power DAB chipsets appeared.

So you agree that DAB doesn't use more power.

Stop twisting his words. SOME DAB doesn't use more power. Probably at
least 95% of the installed base does..

Who's twisting?
Maybe he should have said dab used to use more power then?
