R3 on DAB just doesn't sound very sharp or well defined, whereas FM

describe the difference in sound somehow. And I don't think the
difference is to do with the audio processing either.


PIN sharp? Unlikely if there's a pirate breaking in on the side -which
is what I get on Radio 3 on 91.3 MHz in NW London at the weekends.


I'm afraid that the pirate in NW London doesn't affect my reception quality
in south Manchester.

Anyway, I thought you were from Ireland.


Then again, maybe you live out in the moors


I'm not sure you'd call it the moors - Greater Manchester is the 2nd biggest
connurbation in the UK, after all, and there's a fair few miles between me
and any countryside.


with a bit of twisted
copper wire strung between you and Holme Moss? Thankfully for those of
us who don't have the luxury of hooking up their headphones to a top
end tuner unit to hear those wonderful pauses in the live transmission
from the Metropolitan Opera, use kitchen radios or car radios to hear
radio broadcasts, while getting on with something else at the same
time.


I think the technical term for that sentence is: it's a crap sentence. It
dunt make sense, innit.


I wish I had the time to hook myself up to the HiFi to hear Radio 3!


Try hooking yourself up to the mains instead.


From my point of view, getting a hiss free signal in the kitchen on
the
portable radio without interference is why I like DAB. I don't get
such a good signal on FM. End of story.


So you want everybody else to be provided with very low audio quality on DAB
because you have poor FM reception quality. How very, very kind of you.
