    I’m uploading a review and info on the Roberts DAB radio and information about it all in the more info on the coverage and bit rate quality.
    I decided a portable would be better than the more expensive still highway, seeing as Comet and Halfords told me that stopped doing them, due to so many being returned.
    So I was worried as you can imagine.
    But found it no problem, played through FM transmitter, sitting on the cars back seat and darn good reception, see video on it for more.

    all the BBC channels are in 1 ensemble – so if you can get Radio 1 (though god alone knows why you would want to) you have 2, 3, 4, 5live, 6 and 7 – its the same signal.
    DAB stations in the main are NOT Mono, just some low budget talk stations.
    I have owned 3 DAB car radios in 3 different cars- all much better reception that any FM radio I have owned, provided I have not been in Cornwall or Wales – not enough transmitters for the geography there.

    DAB Radio Sucks. I bought a DAB+ Radio when it was released in Australia, I would rather listen to my FM and AM radios.

    Did you say that DAB stations in the UK transmit in MONO?????? My God that’s shit!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here in Australia we use DAB+ and all the stations transmit in true stereo. A lot of music sounds compressed, so I’m not convinced of the sound quality of DAB+, but at least the stations transmit in STEREO.

    Hey, this guy’s driving a VolksWagon, I recognise the stereo and the dashboard. Here in Australia we use DAB+, and indeed the Pure Highway is available here, I’ve not used one because I don’t drive. I understand the Pure Highway can run on AA batteries, but the battery life is according to the technical specifications.

    DAB is better if you are listening to national/local stations, much better infact. FM is far better in fringe areas, signals travel much further and interference is much more subtle with FM radio.

    DAB doesn’t have the issue of cross channel interference which is great, especially if you live in London and have a problem with pirate radio stations cutting into normal frequencies.

    Why?
    Are there really areas where DAB is better for general use than FM?

    I wouldnt risk dab in a car because instead of a slight his it would keep cutting out.
    I wouldnt bother in a house because a decent FM radio has better sound quality (of course unless you actually live in an area with PERFECT dab reception but dreadful fm reception)

    If your lucky to live in the right area there are some good local stations.
    bbc should turn their stations off though they replace adverts with shite jordie or manchester or liverpool presenters jabbering on for hours with annoying accents

    I live in Australia and distance will be a big problem, especially with compromised radiation patterns.

    Digital Radio …
    Digital Radio Mondiale on MW/LW/SW cuts out many of the problems of analogue by replacing it with an all digital signal;same wavebands and frequencies just a digital AM signal that’s all, and it’s more robust at combatting the effects of interference and fading particularly at night giving a near FM quality that transcends analogue AM for quality and reception.
