Some members of our DRM India WhatsApp group were alerted to recent broadcasts of DRM in the FM band in Delhi? Are these regular transmissions?

 

The DRM in the FM band transmissions are part of an extensive trial that was started on February 24th and 25th in New Delhi which will continue next week in Jaipur. The aim is to demonstrate the net superiority of the DRM standard that can be used in AM but also without interference in the FM band.
