While FM radios are analogue, using radio waves, DAB radios receive content digitally. Thanks to DAB radio, which is digital-terrestrial, radio programmes can be received without the static noise caused by radio waves.

It would have been nice to have the aerial built into the cradle, but presume it wouldn't have been powerful enough to guarantee a decent signal 95% of the time.

Since Digital Audio Broadcasting covers a much more extended frequency range than FM, it offers a bigger variety of stations. This variety is amplified even further thanks to the fact that each frequency in the digital realm can be assigned more than once, resulting in one channel being able to offer several radio programmes. The next step up from DAB is DAB+. It refines the DAB technology to allow even more stations onto one frequency. Be careful however, while DAB+ can accept regular DAB, this isn’t true the other way around. Look for DAB+ or even in-car WiFi setups to futureproof yourself. Will it fit my car?
