DAB reception/coverage in Scotland
When driving around in Perthshire it's nearly impossible to stay tuned to BBC2 radio through my FM radio without losing the signal. Very annoying especially when listening to popmaster.
Does upgrading to a DAB radio solve this issue?

No Radio 2 in Scotland?

I may have to move there.

I used to drive an Evoque (ex-wife's) round there sometimes, the DAB was OK up much of the A9, buy (like FM) drops out in places. OK round Pitlochry, drops out over Drumochter, then OK round Aviemore-Inverness...

Thanks for your reply, We commute from Pitlochry to Perth a a couple of times a week and drive around the area to do some hill walking. I'm guessing there's not a big improvement from switching to DAB then.. 3 and 4G coverage is also rubbish in this area. We listen to downloaded playlists from spotify, but sometimes we like to listen to the news or popmaster Smile I guess we just have to deal with it. It's still a very nice part of the world to live in.
