[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 1083196, member: 175144"] Thanks You appear to have two transmitters close to you which may be the reason for the improved reception. [URL unfurl="true"]https://ukfree.tv/transmitters/locations/DAB[/URL] From the list I estimate there are well over 300 local transmitters, compared to a list of around 700 FM/AM masts, so coverage would be down on the former, especially when on the road, moreso as a result of the higher frequency and the 'more line of sight' characteristics of Band III. Transmitter output levels are also a factor, as well as directionallity, if this is a feature on DAB masts. I haven't checked since I don't consider DAB a viable standard for servicing a region the size of the UK. [/QUOTE]
