BBC Radio 1 DAB reception awful

[sjw]

Hi all,

For the last few months, my DAB reception on BBC Radio 1 (and only Radio 1) has been awful, in areas where it used to be fine. I live around Cambridge and most of the issues I have are on the major roads around the city, A14, M11 etc. It'll drop to FM constantly - if I tap the station logo again, it'll switch back to DAB, but not always for very long.

Has anyone else ever had this before, where just a single station keeps dropping to FM? I've tried rescanning etc, but not sure what else to do. Is there a full reset or anything?

Cheers

Got any faults showing on a scan of module 5F?

Could be a failing aerial, amp or wiring.

Don’t the aerials get rusty (or corroded from water ingress) under the trim in the boot area?

If it's just on radio 1 it's hardly likely to be the aerial. If it was all dab stations then maybe it would be a faulty aerial.

I get DAB reception dropping off to FM on the radio station I listen to - always in the same locations on one of my regular routes. It did it in my previous car too, so I put it down to just poor signal quality at those locations. If I don’t tap the radio station logo on the infotainment screen, DAB reception will come back again of its own accord - usually within a mile’s driving when (presumably) I’ve moved into an area with better DAB signal quality.

That's what I thought, but I'm going to scan it anyway.

Righto, but this didn't happen before and other cars with DAB radio don't suffer in the same areas.

I've had various VW Golfs with DAB - all have much worse reception on DAB than other makes I've had, it's a VW weakness I think.

Random slightly related question. I have a varied music taste, and I can't see 'Kerrang Radio' in DAB stations list even though it is a DAB station and I've seen it in listed other peoples vehicles. Anyone know why?

Good taste filter is enabled?

I saw something similar with other stations dropping to FM, but if I turn off the DAB > FM option in settings DAB doesn't drop so it seems like it is being overly sensitive.

Do you have a dashcam hardwired or any USB cables connected?
