JONES</span> </div> </div> </div> <p> Ford Ennals, chief executive of Digital Radio UK acknowledges that coverage is a major issue. DAB has blackspots in key areas. He says: “Currently some signals in major cities like London are cancelling each other out. The BBC have doubled the amount of their transmitters in the last year – which has increased the quality of their digital output for over one million people. And the radio broadcasters are paying this summer to upgrade the signal in key areas.” Ennals doesn’t expect major progress with coverage until the second half of 2011. However, he points out that 76 per cent of listeners who can get a DAB signal think it provides better sound quality than FM, according to a recent poll. </p> <p> The other question is how the radio industry plans to get digital radios into cars. Ennals says that by 2013 all news cars sold in the UK will come with digital radios and he is working with the car industry and other partners to create an easy and cheap plan to upgrade older cars. </p> <div class="related_links_inline"> <div class="headerOne"> </div> <h4 class="header">Related Articles</h4> <ul>  <li><h2><a href="/web/20100509210512/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/4387972/Carter-report-AM-and-FM-radio-signals-to-be-switched-off.html">Carter report: AM and FM radio signals to be switched off</a></h2></li>  <li><h2><a href="/web/20100509210512/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/mediatechnologyandtelecoms/digital-media/5552937/FM-radio-switched-off-by-2015.html">FM radio switched off by 2015</a></h2></li>  <li><h2><a href="/web/20100509210512/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/mediatechnologyandtelecoms/5289641/Digital-radio-switch-over-expected-by-2013-as-Carters-final-Digital-Britain-report-looms.html">Digital radio switch-over expected by 2013, as Carter?s final Digital Britain report looms</a></h2></li>  <li><h2><a href="/web/20100509210512/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/transport/5033367/Cars-to-get-digital-radio-as-standard.html">Cars to get digital radio as standard</a></h2></li>  <li><h2><a href="/web/20100509210512/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/mediatechnologyandtelecoms/media/3776805/Car-crisis-is-latest-blow-to-digital-radio-ahead-of-2020-switchover.html">Car crisis is latest blow to digital radio ahead of 2020 switchover</a></h2></li>  <li><h2><a href="/web/20100509210512/http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/5637243/Hackers-recruited-to-fight-new-cold-war.html">Hackers recruited to fight 'new cold war'</a></h2></li> </ul> </div> <p> Plug-in devices, such as the Pure Highway, already allow people to do the upgrade themselves but Ennals believes a fitted solution will work better for most people. He talks about deals with the likes of Halfords, which could see the firm offer a ‘digital upgrade’ for £10 to £20 when someone brings their car in for a service. However, this would entail the consumer buying their own digital radio first. </p> <p> He says his organization is working with car manufacturers, such as Ford, to offer digital radios and installation for a combined charge of £100. There are also plans afoot with retailers to give people discounts when buying a digital radio, either for the car or home, if they bring back their FM sets – a sort of digital radio scrappage scheme. According to Ofcom, the media regulator, people own an average of four radios per home, of which the majority are still analogue. </p> <p> Ennals defends additional costs to the consumer by saying it was the same when TV switchover happened – Ofcom warned that there would that investment needed by the public to get access to next generation services. </p> <div class="cl"></div></div> <div class="storyFunc nobord hide"> <ul class="shareThis shareBottom"> <li><a class="addthis_button_delicious"></a></li> <li><a class="addthis_button_digg"></a></li> <li><a class="addthis_button_facebook"></a></li> <li><a class="addthis_button_fark"></a></li> <li><a class="addthis_button_google"></a></li> <li><a class="addthis_button_linkedin"></a></li> <li><a class="addthis_button_live"></a></li> <li><a class="addthis_button_myspace"></a></li> <li><a class="addthis_button_reddit"></a></li> <li><a class="addthis_button_stumbleupon"></a></li> <li><a class="addthis_button_twitter"></a></li> <li><a class="addthis_button_buzz"></a></li> <li class="email"> <a class="addthis_button_mailto" href="https://web.archive.org/web/20100509210512/mailto:/?subject=A Telegraph reader thought you would be interested in this article&body=Depending on your email program, you may be able to click on the link in the email.

A manufacturer developing a radio for DAB has the UK and Danish markets and not much else. Just for once here is something crying out for a Europe-wide regulatory framework. <br/> <br/>It has taken so long to roll out DAB services in the UK that other, better digital radio systems have been developed and are being adopted by other countries who are coming to digital radio later. <br/> <br/>And I can't let Ford Ennals get away with the nonsense that "Currently some signals in major cities like London are cancelling each other out". DAB is specifically designed to operate with high levels of co-channel interference.

Furthermore, he and his mendacious team of propagandists NEVER tell the truth about the battery consumption of the portables, or the plug in ones come to that. by its very nature, DAB has GOT to draw more power than a simple single chip FM detector and demodulator. It needs a microprocessor to run at all, which is why the portables EAT batteries for a pastime. We must rise up and reject this madness of taking our main BBC stations off FM.
