The arguments continue: [URL]http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/tvandradio/10519410/Digital-radio-switchover-Listen-to-the-listeners.html[/URL] My view is that we should leave the FM, MW and LW transmissions alone for the next 20 or 30 years. I am not one of those wedded to my FM tuner because I believe it's "analogue" sound is better than any digital transmission. My Squeezebox Classic playing into a cheap Beresford DAC beats my Quad Tuner; and I know the feeds to the FM transmitters are digital, and have been for years. No, I support the continuance of FM and AM analogue radio because it will work in areas and circumstances where DAB will not. In a car FM reception will degrade and remain intelligible - I may not want to listen to music through the noise, but I may be able to hear the news. That could be important. We have all these perfectly useable radios, some capable of very high quality reception. Why scrap them? And an argument I have not heard elsewhere - national security. If all the modern technology gets knocked out by a massive electromagnetic pulse (natural or man made) it might be rather useful to have an old wireless that still works - maybe one full of thermionic valves! The BBC Radio 4 Long Wave transmitter will cover most of the UK and half of Europe, but you have to have enough wireless sets in every community for that transmission to be heard. I have a valve wireless set in the attic! Leave analogue radio alone!
