Hello,
I receive the Radio Gold (1548 kHz) in Warsaw PL only at night, although often the program is disturbed by a signal from a transmitter from Grigoriopol from Transnistria, i.e. about 510 miles (820 km) as the crow flies.
Another station may be involved, but I can't identify it.
The AM SynchronousDetectionfunction greatly improves the reception.
If this station broadcasts in DAB + only, the signal reception will be limited to 80 miles using a directional antenna. This is a big difference compared to the current coverage in half of Europe.
On the other hand, streaming is a completely different medium (this is not a radio!), so having to choose the lesserof two evils, the optimal solution for digital broadcasting is Digital Radio Mondial (DRM) with xHE-AAC codec.
DRM with xHE-AAC has stereo "mp4" reception signal quality in the whole AM band and the coverage the same as on Short Waves.
Yes, DRM is a bit more expensive than DAB+ , but it has incomparably greater coverage - global (!) - than that which can be provided by the DAB+ standard, i.e. local coverage.
So it's worth considering such an option otherwise the number of recipients will certainly be drastically reduced.
Faren.
Thank you.
