Interesting. I've always had terrible problems indoors with
multipath interference on FM: wherever I moved it'd make a horrible
fizzing sound.


That may be simple lack of signal/receiver not too sensitive, not
necessarily multipath as such. On the few portable receivers we have
all local and main channels with the exception of Classic FM are
received very well.


Every time I stay overnight somewhere where there is a clock radio in
the bedroom, I seem to get the above effect. Perhaps I just choose to
visit low signal strength areas. ;-)


Dave I'm so sorry such sad things happen like that in your life;-(....


I've a feeling I'm just more critical about such things. I'd rather have
'steady' DAB reception for R4 even at the low data rate than the fluffing
and farting from FM as you move around the room.

I get the impression many who criticise DAB on all accounts never actually
listen to the radio in the same way as the majority do...
