Anyway, the temporary change in R3 DAB sound, which is what this
thread was about, has now (morning of 12 Feb) gone away.

I think the BBC must have switched R3 to a low bit-rate for a while.
Let's hope they don't make a habit of it. It's bad enough having to
accept a measly 192kb/s.

Perhaps it was a try on to see how many would notice and complain;!.

Suppose the BBC ministry of truth has been wheeled out again....

R3 is changed to 160kbps whenever Radio 5 Sports Extra goes on-air in
the daytime. For example, rugby is on from 3.30 this afternoon, and R3
will be 160kbps while it is on.
