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.


souns to me like the digital haters who complained when then BBC started
playing CDs. When it was pointed out the the feeds to the transmitters had
been digital for years the got quite confused.
