Some interesting news.

Barry Fox, in the April edition of Hi-Fi News, informs us that Goodmans are soon to be launching a budget range of DAB radios (prices starting at £99.00). Unfortunately he then goes on to tell us that good old Auntie Beeb has cut the data rates for it's digital radio broadcasts.

Radios 1 and 2 are down from 192kbps discrete stereo to 128kbps joint stereo; Radio 4 is now 128kbps joint until 8pm and then goes down to 80kbps mono. Only Radio 3 (for now) remains untouched.

Just thought you might like to know.
