Default Re: 'Proper' DAB conversion for valve radios

The radio I currently intend to modify is an HMV 1252 FM tuner. The front end is rubbish, but the IF and demodulator work fine.

The owner, also had a lovely MW / LW / VHF Cossor table model that I restored for him, and it has a PU socket. He intends to connect this HMV unit to that in order to add DAB to an already great radio. Good idea.

As I have eluded to already, different solutions for different situations.

Can't wait to actually get my hands on one of these modules though and see how it performs in practice. There are a lot of DAB multiplexes in my area and it will be interesting to see how the spacing of all those stations works out!
