After numerous complaints,ABC CLASSIC FM here in Perth is still displaying the odd distortion anomaly and NOW (!#^*), has a faint underlying station playing in the background.
The ABC don't give a damn and have not returned my call and request to talk to a technician as promised.This is not just a problem with my system in particular or my aerial, as it has been confirmed by my fellow high end equipment users and even on car radios!
Timbo, if where you are, you have no compression or limiting as you say, consider yourself lucky.
Perth is far from ideal as ABC FM gets here delayed via sattelite and DOES suffer from limiting and compression and all the other crap associated with analogue to digital conversion forwards and backwards.
On top of all that, we sometimes have an unknown station loudly '' burst in'' over the regular braodcast for a couple of seconds nearly giving us a heart attack!
Then comes the mysterious drop in signal strength.......but that's a whole story in itself.............Dick Smith Electronics have just released an $88.00 DAB+/FM portable stereo radio(originally $199, then $129, now on special at ( 88 bucks!),which is comparable in construction/features and quality it appears, to much more expensive ones............ and I'm going for it.
Most likely, it can be modified for line out and an external antenna and maybe/eventually an attractive metal case?Either way, even with DAB+'s shortcomings, I'd rather listen to a clean signal than the crap we're getting now.
If worse comes to worse, it'll be a nice portable radio to have............and it won't be set to FM !!!
