Anybody got the DAB radio? How does it compare? What's the coverage like?
I didn't even consider it because I can't even get a DAB signal in the house, so I don't have a lot of confidence that I'd get a reliable signal on the road. And I've heard that the digital system isn't as good in the car as FM analogue anyway.
But they might switch off the analogue FM signal in 2015, which will be in the lifetimes of our new cars.
I remember when cars just came with LW and MW. Mono. At midnight, regular as clockwork, Radio 3 would be overwhelmed by another station - I can still hear the call sign. I'm told it was Radio Albania. Those of us who had older cars when they switched off the medium wave signals had to have new FM radios fitted.
Could be heading for a repeat performance with DAB.
