<p>Jonathan Marsh at RadioLab (Uni of Beds) is your man. Not sure if he is on this list. He was at WycSo last week doing research on the relative quality of different bit rates and DAB vs DAB+ pros/cons. Really interesting stuff. He's interested in visiting
stations (within reach of Luton) who can gather a number of people together to do the research, which takes around 20 minutes to complete. I can connect him to anyone who is interested, if he's not here already!</p>

<div dir="ltr">Yes - 80k mono sounds reasonable (ish) and is maximally compatible with radio sets. DAB+ is only available on a proportion of the radios out there - not sure if anyone knows the proportion - say 50% at a guess? Obviously 48k stereo will sound
better than 32k stereo. I'd guess the carriage charge is more or less proportional to the data rate required - so you have a choice to make there.
