Talk:Digital Radio Mondiale

message: Should add a section.  From the reading I've done, the DRM signal becomes totally unreadable at a time when a comparably distorted analog signal is still audible and listenable.  It appears to be an unreliable format compared with analog.  Also, as SW is still primarily used to disseminate information in the third world, DRM will not be used in areas where the cost of the technology is too high.  A $250 radio for every family in Africa and India?  I think not.  Broadcasters will continue transmitting in analog, so they can be picked up by the millions of listeners with $5 analog radios.
DRM sounds like a much better idea for medium-wave AM, which broadcasts locally and won't suffer the signal degradation, but for international SW broadcasts it's so unreliable as to be useless.71.205.209.100 21:19, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

message: I haven't found a referencable link as yet, but I got it in a work newsletter. Ofcom is seriously considering not renewing Virgin and TalkSports' AM licenses so that they can reuse the AM bandwidth for DRM. - David Gerard 09:24, 27 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Broken Link under DRM in General section 

message: I corrected the article to say DRM+ goes up to 108Mhz - not 120 - but the Airband page mentions a possible switch to digital radio. Would this be DRM+ or something else? 108 - 118Mhz is generally used for radio navigation equipment such as VOR and ILS and while they'll eventually be replaced by some enhanced GPS system (which will probably free that band for voice comms) that won't be soon. 118-137MHz is AM voice comms (CD quality not required) with 25kHz channel spacing (and Europe looking to reduce that to 8.33kHz) Anyone have any more info?

thread_title: DRM+ for [[Airband]]?

message: This (DRM) seems dead? I looked for DRM receivers and found two: one is definitely out of stock, the other on indefinite hold. Only Voice of Russia seems to have DRM emissions.--Xyzt1234 (talk) 16:05, 27 July 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: You didn't look hard enough! VoR is indeed a player, so is BBC World Service, Radio Romania International and Vatican Radio. And that's just off the top of my head. I listen to BBC World Service News on 5790 kHz DRM quite regularly. Mind you, I did have to build my own radio and run it through the "Dream" software. You're right that it's difficult to buy a DRM radio, but they exist at least in Germany. And Germany seems to be the target for most DRM transmissions in Europe. I'm in the UK. Just about no DRM transmissions are aimed my way, but the BBC World Service is usable here just because it comes from only 350 km away. Steve Hosgood (talk) 00:06, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Seems dead 

message: Quote:  2011 the paneuropean organisation Community Media Forum Europe [14] has recommended to the European Commission that DRM+ should rather be used for small scale broadcasting (local radio, community radio) than DAB/DAB+.
Interesting maybe, but is this relevant for a encyclopedic article? Maikel (talk) 20:47, 12 May 2013 (UTC)

message: The title Digital Radio Mondiale suggests that there is an alternative Analog Radio Mondiale, but as far as I know, there isn't.  Should there at least be a redirect from Radio Mondiale?  Gah4 (talk) 11:18, 11 December 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Analog? 

message: That section states for example "9 kHz. Occupies half the standard bandwidth of a region 1 long wave or medium wave broadcast channel." 9 kHz is the full bandwidth of a region 1 AM channel, all items after 4.5 and 5 kHz in this section make this error.  In practice a DRM is always using the bandwidth it's specified with, on shortwave the DRM transmissions are 10 kHz wide and therefore occupy twice the bandwidth of a standard shortwave broadcast channel. 2A01:598:A003:6BCC:692B:7860:81D:3D0C (talk) 11:05, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
