Digital Radio in the usa is considered a flop afaik. digital is fine for a shelf radio, it doesn't suit a car system. unlike analogue, you either 'get it' or you don't, there is no in-between, so interference and signal drops from things like power lines and buildings really adversely affect it. get out of the city and you'll get nothing at all.
The reason for switching to digital? So the govt can sell the spectrum. the us govt got 2.3 billion for the spectrum sold there.

Range is definately an issue in Brisbane. I believe the transmission range is very limited, from around Logan on the southside up to around the Pine River on the Northside. About a 25k radius from the city.
Hope it improves.
