DAB

Englishbloke · 01-21-2016, 02:31 AM

Hi,

Anyone else notice DAB reception has deteriorated considerably over the last week or so? Moved from very rarely losing a signal to rarely having one.

Trying to work out if it's the car, transmitters or atmospherics.

Mine's hit and miss when driving along the M20 in Kent. Now worse in the cost weather though.

have you plugged in a new 12v charger in the car or something like that? Sometimes the noise they give off kills the signal.

They give off REIN which blocks the signal. If you unplug the charger and the signal comes back then you may have to rethink your charger solution.

I've plugged my iPhone in to use Cyclops (camera detector). D'oh!
