Hello,

What happens when the signal fades out? With a normal AM transmission it is
still possible to hear the station into the noise and back again. With
digital it will be on and then completely off - so will be difficult to
listen to.
I certainly wouldn't associate digital radio with audio quality. When DAB
first come out it was great, but not now as so many stations are crammed
into each multiplex to make money. Audio quality suffers because of low
bitrates and a lot of stations are in mono.
Digital radio has a long way to go.

Now, who was it testing something like this on Medium Wave in London? Eh?
Anyone?

Instead, domestic use of DRM on longwave, mediumwave and the proposed VHF
allocation, where armchair listeners will value increased choice and
audio
quality, is where this technology may more comfortably sit.
