I'm very rare in that I have a good DAB car radio with a decent aerial.
Reception around London with that is vastly better than FM. To the point
where it could be described as rock solid. Only time it does give problems
is in some tunnels, etc. But hangs on far later than FM even there.


A very London-centric POV, you only have to get a little way past the Reading
services on the M4 heading West to experience the classic DAB reception problems
even with a quality DAB car set. In most of Devon [away from the cities] Dab is
a total waste of time in a car and requires a proper external ariel for even
half decent indoor reception...quite a long way from what the half-wits in the
government [term used with derision] promised.
