Since there is no need for streaming, as is the case with internet radio, there are no additional costs.

Thanks to an increased frequency range and the option to have several programmes on a single channel there is a much wider choice of stations.In principle the Highway is a fantastic product that promises and delivers DAB digital radio to you in your car. If you receive your radio programme via digital radio, you will feel like listening to a CD: As long as you are within the transmission range, you can listen to your favourite station without being interrupted by static noise, which is one of the main benefits of DAB radio. If you are outside the transmission range, you won’t receive anything at all – no music, no sound, but also no static noise.

Thanks to data compression technologies, different radio stations can be transmitted on a single frequency, thus reducing the number of necessary frequencies and optimising their use.

Pure thinks it has the answer with the Highway, an in-car DAB digital radio with FM transmitter, but has it? We hit the road to find out.
