[QUOTE="william-1, post: 960652, member: 193781"] If you are using a telescopic aerial on a FM/Dab radio reduce the height of the aerial to 2 feet / 61cm for better Dab sensitivity then extend the aerial when you switch to FM, Nearly all current BBC are in 128Kbps MP2 on normal Dab with the exception of R3 192kbps R5 64-80 kbit/s Mono, [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BBC_National_DAB']BBC National DAB - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/URL] [URL='http://www.techradar.com/news/car-tech/why-dab-radio-in-the-uk-is-broken-and-how-to-fix-it-1217586']Why DAB radio in the UK is broken, and how to fix it | TechRadar[/URL] I think only 3 commercial Dab stations are in stereo Classic FM 160Kbps,The Arrow 128Kbps & Absolute 112Kbps the rest are in 64 to 80Kbps Mono it is a joke :eek: The BBC originally tested Dab in MP2 @ 320Kbps & thought is was fantastic then the bit rates & quality gradually came down until we ended up with a very inferior service when compared to VHF/FM Band II transmissions. Dab+ may go the same way if the current tests are anything to go by 32Kbps in AAC is probably the same as 192Kbps in MP2 ? As mentioned in post#4 Music channels in 64Kbps in AAC Dab+ like the dutch sounds like a better proposition maybe we can then here Music on Planet Rock in Stereo via a Dab radio :) [/QUOTE]
