The Gadget Show Web TV programme on the Morphy Richards DRM Radio is now
available on YouTube.

After listening to the DRM transmission by BBC Radio Devon the presenter was
not impressed by DRM describing it as processed, distorted and worse than
FM.

In some ways it's all down to what you're used to. If you usually listen to
AM radio on the medium wave and shorwave bands then DRM sounds great in
comparison but for those who only listen to FM or DAB, it may not meet
expectations.

synchronous am sounds pretty good too (my lowe hf 150 has excellent audio).
