OK this needs to be settled. I've recorded 10 seconds of Kerrang

down. Van Gogh would have heard the difference.


The DAB goes to 12kHz, the mw is dying by 4kHz.

That doesn't say much for DAB, does it?


Both smashing into limiters. And some

Our DAB 'expert' does himself no favours by talking rubbish in among
