Colin Leake Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 A friend of ours has one in his VW van. I've no idea what make or how it works but he says it works just fine. Sorry I can't be of more help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yeti Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I have one of these in my Hymer. It does fluctuate when driving in some area,which is down to incomplete DAB coverage,on site great, And a great price! http://www.morgancomputers.co.uk/product_detail/11649/Pure-DAB-Highway-In-car-Radio/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mel B Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Soooooo, if I had one of these would it mean that Radio 2 wouldn't be 'lost' when travelling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robinhood Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Mel B - 2013-03-12 8:13 PM Soooooo, if I had one of these would it mean that Radio 2 wouldn't be 'lost' when travelling? ....in general, until and unless some major augmentation of the DAB signal is made (and the debate about if and when continues), stations which are currently available on FM (such as Radio 2) will get a much better coverage across the country than DAB. (So the straight answer to your question is No). I also miss DAB (as like IPS, I have changed my car and no longer have the excellent Ford DAB radio). DAB's major advantages currently are in providing access to stations that do not broadcast on AM/FM (such as Planet Rock ;-) ), and in providing much improved quality for broadcasts only available on AM (in particular, Radio 5 - which is virtually unusable on AM in the evenings, but clear as a bell on DAB).
