There’s good signal in my area, but I still get bad reception. What can I do?
There are many issues that can cause interference and bad DAB reception. A BBC guide on DAB signal troubleshooting is available here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/reception/help-guides/dab/troubleshooting-dab-reception
Here are some troubleshooting points if you are having issues with signal interference:
- Try switching your radio off and on again.
- Try performing a full scan.
- Try moving the aerial around to see if that improves the signal. If not, try moving your radio around to see if you can find a better position with a clearer signal – it’s harder for radio signals to penetrate through thick concrete walls. Try positioning your radio next to or close to a window.
- Check your cables for water damage. To find out how, visit the BBC’s guide to water damage here: https://www.bbc.co.uk/reception/help-guides/everything-else/check-your-cables-for-any-signs-of-damage-or-if-water-has-seeped-into
- Devices that can interfere with DAB radios include microwave ovens, LED lighting, laptops and laptop power supplies, LCD TVs, mobile phones, and power line networking. It may be possible for you to detect the device causing interference by switching things off, one at a time, until your interference problem is resolved.
- Weather can often affect DAB signal, particularly fine weather including high pressure. The best course of action in this situation is to wait for the weather to change – you should not attempt to re-tune during this time.
