Yes ^_^ lots of sites say delivery in 28 days, or something similar. There is an independent electrical retailer locally who is very good, and delivers, and the prices are good, but he does not do audio equipment. He concentrates on large appliances and television etc.

I feel for you. we used to have a retailer called RadioShack. they were everywhere, like Dunkin Donuts. now we have to look for stuff at CVS ... or Amazon. but there is one electronics specialty shop not too far away, if I get desperate for something in particular & that I don't want to wait for

Found in the Yorkshire hills ...
was thinking this morning about my past winter commuting experiments & the time I built up a studded 26er (yank) thinking it would be best for a 26 mile round trip winter commute. wound up being torture, so I went back to my studded 700c hybrid bike w/ waay less rolling resistance

That's the hope. I've found a couple of pairs of wheels to try the tyres on which will go onto my cross bike.

Can someone explain in plain English the difference between FM and DAB radio?

I am thinking about buying a compact "Shelf" cd player. Some of the more expensive ones have both, but the smaller, less expensive ones, have one or other of FM and DAB. Does DAB pick up foreign radio stations without an aerial?
I was actually thinking of starting a whole new thread on DAB because I really don't understand it either 😂

OK, someone else might have explained but here goes:

DAB is digital, there are groups of channels you can pick up, much like TV. The quality is reasonably good with a decent aerial/strong signal location but not as good as FM. It is, like FM, local to you, so no foreign stations.

FM is an analogue system, capable of pretty good quality with a decent aerial.

The Powers that Be prefer DAB because it is 'modern' and makes more efficient use of the spectrum.

To get foreign stations you need short wave, but there are vastly fewer stations now than there were.

There are stations broadcasting on the Internet, but I haven't played with those.
