Have you got any aftermarket LED bulbs fitted? Cheap USB chargers can effect DAB signal too.

I do have a dashcam hard wired. No bulb swaps. Could this be it? Dashcam wire playing havoc with the reception? Maybe I'll remove it and see if the problem remains.

The last couple of days I found another spot where it's started to drop, where it didn't before. It's getting worse!

It doesn't happen with 1 Xtra which I believe is broadcast from the same building and that is flawless, so it's not a signal strength thing, I don't think.

EDIT: I should add I've had the dashcam fitted for probably 3 years now, and the radio has only been iffy for <1 year

My current theory is that its dashcam related, I had mine out for a while and since I refitted it I've seen it drop out when at home now. That is with the ferrite core on the USB too.

Which model is it?

Good taste filter is enabled?

Always amazes me how you ask for genuine advice and you get cocky answers like this by people that can't keep their opinions to themselves

Keep up the good work @jv :smiley:. IMHO a bit of humour and sarcasm never does any harm!

Yes, if you can’t have a laugh about cars- and Kerrang radio- what can you laugh about?

It's an Aukey something or other, I'm not even sure if it's on sale any more. Like I say, I've had it a few years now. It's possible the wire has just been moved to a location that is interfering.
