DAB is completely overrated. The BBC have even admitted that they claw back the bit rate of many broadcasts, to a level which makes them clearly poorer quality than their FM equivilants.
The public have been tricked into thinking DAB=higher quality, which is rubbish.
In addition, unless the signal is a strong one, the sound becomes so garbled and distorted that listening to a broadcast becomes impossible. At least with FM, you could get by with a minor 'hiss' in the background.
