Ah, DAB: Another "essential" service unavailable to us yokels.

And likely to remain so despite the recent revival of 2016 as the FM switch-off date.

 

[Captain Jack]

I am still FM only. In the car and around the house.

Same here Alex but then again I only listen to the radio in the car, You can check reception in your area here,

VHF/FM is a far superior system for radio than Dab MP2 or Dab+ MP3 will ever be with low bit rates Dab is the new medium wave,

DAB radio is a mega step backwards.

Crap stations poor reception and quality very little stereo and it uses 40 times more power than the superior FM.

Yep. No great public appetite for it, either: Yet will be all be obliged to spend a fair bit of dosh on new tuners quite soon.

At least there's always Satellite Radio. Use that anyway for 5 Live Sports Extra Cricket Commentary (with included Michael Vaughan filter).

Some bright spark in the future will suggest that we use FLAC or WAV for the new Digital compression of VHF/FM 88 to 108 MHz
Just got my LEAK Stereofetic FM Tuner working with a 8 element VHF aerial bit of hiss & fading atm need to motorise it I think
