….not the best idea. My old DAB set was a fairly happy bunny, often getting signal strength in the high 90’s. However the time came to move upwards. Into my nice new (and almost complete) loft. Big problem is the foil insulation around the all the walls. This reduced my quality a bit………
I was prepared, so I borrowed Dad’s DAB…..
Better, but still a bit of Dr Who alien warbling appeared. Aerials on these devices are a bit hit and miss, you extend them and signal gets worse. extend to an angle that hits you in the face and it improves. On my Evoke-1 I used an external aerial for a while, but that progressively got worse. So in the end found the built in extension aerial was better. So where now? I like my old set but really hate the garbled/warbling mess it produces on occasion.
I could look to source a better external aerial, which may be the next logical step. I was intending to update my DAB set, but frankly it’s a no brainer as my Dad’s DAB is fairly new and the signal is poor still. I do fine it strange my DAB clock radio actually sounds o.k. though.
Next option would be Internet Radio. But the big problem here is bandwidth. How much will streaming take up, plus most devices seem to wireless which can be a pain with regards to signal strength.
