DAB radio in the MH

We live in a city and lose DAB signal on the house radio! Give me proper radio waves radio any day 😉.

Mrs G drives a VW and the DAB signal is always dropping out.  At least it automatically switches to FM.

Our van doesn't have a DAB radio, so we use a small portable one (Pure) which doesn't seem to have these problems.

Our VW Polo has a DAB radio. It works fairly well on the drive, usually it goes off by the the time you get to the end of the street.. I've tested it several times, its just hopeless when moving and especially hopeless in areas where there are more sheep than people. 

I have DAB in our VW Passat and it works much better than the FM set we have in our caravan. 

We get short drop outs when travelling as it changes to the strongest signal but that's worth putting up with for the clarity obtained as compared with the old FM. 

We have DAB in our Polo & in a Golf (just sold) and we find the DAB unreliable in both, probably because we live in a rural area.

We just use the straight FM option, and I cannot tell any difference in sound quality - obviously I'm not a music aficionado....!

I would think carefully before you let a dealer take the dashboard apart, in my experience they never go back together like they come from the factory....!

I can't hear the difference either. But then I'm only on Radio 4 😉.  Nothing worse that not catching the end of the play or bits of the news etc 😣

Thanks to all and thanks to Brue for the link on which there is a map that clearly shows that the area around Ludlow does have reduced DAB reception.

If you want to check the reception in your area follow Rue's link

On my Peugeot DAB radio I am able to set the radio (in settings) to automatically tune itself between DAB or FM (on the same station such as Radio 2) whichever is the stronger signal. 

Hi Apperley,

Is this your Peugeot Car or Boxer MH? If its your Boxer MH can you remember the sequence in settings.

Thanks
