DAB very poor reception

If I'm stationary on the drive then DAB is OK, if I am moving then DAB is pretty much a waste of time, I guess its signal related but I'm not sure what to check, which is the DAB aerial. Anyone else got this problem - I suppose, more usefully, has anyone fixed it? Geoff

Hi

DAB can be pretty much hit and miss if you are in a rural area. You can check coverage at: http://www.ukdigitalradio.com/

Not good in my street, but better when I move off, similar issues to you I'm afraid. I sometimes go back to FM when it gets too bad.

I just had a quick Google and it appears DAB uses Band III in the UK not Band L the default for the settings on my DAB is Band III and Band L I just changed it to be Band III only and it seems much improved.
Too good to be true - maybe Very Happy Geoff

I only ever have the radio on DAB channels. No problems at all until you wander far from populations, so basically it works pretty much everywhere except the Highlands in my experience. You do get interference when you go past police stations though.....
