Surely there's no technical reason why DAB cannot be transmitted at the
present 'FM' frequencies? It is arguable that propagation and RF
penetration is better than at 200MHz. All you will need is a new radio.
This will be no great hardship as, the way things are going, if they
change DAB to DAB+ I'm going to have to change my DAB/FM radio anyway in
order to receive anything at all.
