FM just works.

DAB in the car is a joke in Scotland...you need LW ......

Making FM a joke too?
Pity they don't make LW phones for some of Scotland.

FM was never designed for mobile reception. DAB specifically was. Of
course with any transmission system you need adequate coverage. And
that is easier to achieve with DAB.

FM is a 1930s invention, and is an expanded analogue format. DAB is
something entirely different and far higher tech. But the massive
technical differences aren't all that determine which works best.

DAB certainly suffered from being a solution to a problem the vast
majority of the public didn't worry about. Especially as it arrived after
being able to play your own choices of music in a car were becoming so
much easier. And like any transmission system relies on an adequate
signal strength.
