Default DAB BBC dropout

My money is still on a link even if the fm works, it c might be you get the
dab from somewhere else, and that would be where to look.

I think it is unlikely to be Corfe - we live in Wareham which has many more
houses!

Thanks,

Hi,
Yesterday started to get complete dropouts every few minutes on BBC 3 and
4
DAB. Dropouts last a few seconds and sound then returns as normal. Happens
with 3 different radios in different places in the house. Does not happen
with Capital Radio. Does not happen with FM or internet.

We live in Dorset (BH20 5BB) and BBC say no faults with transmitters.

Suggestions?

Thanks,

Gordon


Sounds like your local repeater going bad. If it's a small one it may
not have monitoring in real time, so they wouldn't necessarily know.
Looks like you are covered by the Corfe Castle repeater which only
serves 800 homes. Does that sound right?
