My experience so far with DAB R3 is that it is much more often 192kbps
than 160kbps.


Maybe different here in London? I seem to see 160k quite a lot here.

Is it not a national SFN? If so, presumably, they have to transmit exactly
the same from all the TXs in synchronism.

The few occasions I've seen 160kbps for R3 DAB was late afternoon for
periods of around an hour or so. IIRC the last occasion I noticed was a
Jazz item. However the Jazz program that is on as I write is 192kbps.

I've not kept any systematic note, but my impression so far is that it has
been 192kbps over 90% of the time I've looked. But having gained this
impression, I have checked less often recently.

Slainte,

Jim
