Description
Comparing the audio quality of a Sangean DAB+ radio (model DPR-45) with a 1958 HMV AM tube radio model 64-62 ''Little Nipper.
Both receivers are tuned to 2RN (Radio National) Canberra. The HMV is tuned to the 2RN Canberra frequency of 846 khz on the standard AM band
The DAB+ radio operates in the VHF band from 174 MHz to 240 MHz and transmits the programs heard on the normal AM band in digital form on the VHF band resulting in interference free reception.
In order to listen to weaker AM stations - for example - Radio 1RPH transmitting on a power of 2 Kilowatts - I have to use the DAB+ receiver because the received signal on the AM band heard on the HMV receiver is too noisy !
