If you love radio don't buy a DAB


Hear hear. FM quality is far better and more reliable in my experience.

Depends on where you are.

And depends on which DAB station you're listening to. And how the
transmission processor (like Optimod) is set up - as they are often
different between them. And, of course how much multipath problems you
have with FM.

Be very interesting to see if these DAB haters could always tell which is
which in a properly conducted blind test. One where you couldn't just use
the delay to tell which is which.

The fact that in boiling mud the announcers frequently sound like the
Aquaphibians off Stingray (even with a decent areal) and the absence of
signal on parts of the A1 not that far outside London for starters.

If you really enjoy the silent bits between programme material then DAB
is definitely for you but if you listen to music it is hopeless.
