- snom380 10y agoThe bitrate requirement should be lower for DAB+, although this article seems to contradict that: http://www.engineeringradio.us/blog/2013/11/what-bitrate-is-needed-to-sound-like-analog-fm/ http://www.engineeringradio.us/blog/2013/11/what-bitrate-is-...
- tormeh 10y agoIf you live next to the radio tower, perhaps. I prefer to have more sound in my noise than FM can offer.
- scholia 10y agoWhat sort of aerial are you using?
- scholia 10y agoI ask because FM waves are 2.8 to 3.4 metres long, so a quarter-wave FM aerial should be 70-86cm (28-33 inches) long....
- tormeh 10y agoNo idea. Car radios etc. They work amazingly well in Oslo, but they're useless out in the bushes. Radio isn't fun when you only hear half the conversation. Give me error correction and lossy codecs any time.
- scholia 10y agoWell, if there's no signal you won't get a result whether it's analogue or digital, In fact, digital works less well at low signal strengths: instead of a noisy, hissy FM radio you usually get nothing ;-) AM goes further, of course, if AM is available...
