Hi

I hope that this has not already been posted. Apologies if this is the
case. The Friends of Radio 3 have written to various BBC managers to
complain about the reduction in bit rate from the normal 192kbps to
160kbps. You can read the news item at
http://www.for3.org/second/BBC_R3_news.html#poorDAB

Regards

David



You might as well give up with T-DAB the BBC has been overrun with marketeer's
and management types.. so its buggered;(.

What you'd be far better off campaigning for is high bitrate Satellite
transmissions, the Germans and French are capable of these so the BBC "should"
be able to manage.

And while we're at it Radio 3.5 .. in order to remove the "worthy" speech
items off what's for me a "Music" channel.

Suppose Radio 2.75 for Jazz and other similar not mainstream stuff also.

Thats what you ought be doing IMHO.

Mind you FM is still good.. so lets also preserve that eh?.......
