Default NICAM vs DVB vs DAB (original design)

I'm not splitting any hairs. You implied that because NICAM doesn't have
"built-in" error correction then it would be unusable as a digital radio
format. It would be unusable as a digital radio format due to its bandwidth,
but not because it lacks error correction, because the other codecs don't
have that either.


I was assuming he meant as-is. Ie same transmission system, albeit
different frequency, as well as same codec. In which case it would be
unsuitable.
