DAB sounds worse than FM <dab.is@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:

They didn't ask me to give a presentation on why the UK DAB industry has
acted incredibly ineptly over many, many years, that the UK is now likely
to be one of only around 3 countries to be using an out-of-date and
unbelievably inefficient system that should have been scrapped in the
mid-1990s.

yet, in 1995 when I went to the Funkerstellung (sp) in Berlin, DAB as we
know it was all the rage, with many manufacturers showing off their
brand-new car radios.

Bear in mind that manufacturing industry isn't going to be best pleased if
a broadcast system they've invested millions in on receiver design and
production is scrapped before they can sell any kit.

There isn't really a UK DAB industry, in any case; multinationals are the
current flavour.
