Can you say what your source for the above is? Perhaps give a reference to
it? So far, my experience is that R3 DAB/DTTV tends not to be level
compressed during the day in the same way as R3 FM.

Also, since DAB includes the ability to provide user-optional DRC, do you
have reason to think the BBC will *not* make any level-compression a 'user
option' if they apply it to R3 FM?

Jim,

Before I retired, I was the guy selling Orban in the UK. That's where the
information comes from, my dealings with the Corporation on supplying
processing for the new London Control Room. It is my understanding that all
R3 outlets will be processed eventually. You may well be right that
currently DAB/DTTV are not processed. They weren't, but may well be soon
when the new kit is operational. As to DRC, I have never heard any mention
of DRC within the BBC, so can't say if they will ever use it.

Processing is a hot subject within all radio broadcasters, BBC and
commercial. They guard their processor settings jealously, and are most
reluctant ever to talk about it publicly.
