[QUOTE="smoggy07, post: 865536, member: 298987"] I think the reason phones have FM not DAB is because there is only a hand full of countries using the DAB standard but most if not all use some sort of FM And battery life is still to poor IMHO to run DAB, WIFI, Bluetooth, android/iOS and/or all the other junk they run (they only just last as it is) I quite like the sound of what they have adopted out in America, I'm not sure how it works but from what I've read on another forum they broadcast analogue on the main centre freq and then broadcast HD digital radio on 2 sub carriers either side of the centre freq, each sub carrier can handle one or more extra stations or a HD simulcast of the analogue broadcast and an extra station I'll have a look for a few linkies and report back [EDIT] This is the company behind the American system [url]http://www.ibiquity.com/hd_radio[/url] and here is their PR waffle [url]http://hdradio.com/what-is-hd-radio[/url] [/QUOTE]
