scotty Posted 18 April, 2011 Share Posted 18 April, 2011 All of a sudden cant pick up AM on the car radio, Solent has gone missing, Radio 2 is a bit fuzzy but can pick up Breeze etc good as gold Any suggestions pl? Anything to do with the new digital frequencies? Yes, Ive noticed that I cant get R5 properly now. I think the beeb are trying to get us all used to the idea of getting DAB, so are powering down the fm and am signals. Thing is, in my ancient bmw the radio is designed specifically for the car so I cand just by a digital, unless theres an adaptor of some kind?

Whitey Grandad Posted 18 April, 2011 Share Posted 18 April, 2011 Check your aerial feeds. Can you get other stations? They normally use the rear heater element as an aerial an there's sometimes an amplifier in the boot lid with a large ferrite inductor. After repeated lid slammings this can come away from the board thus losing the signal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swannymere Posted 18 April, 2011 Share Posted 18 April, 2011 I have noticed that occasionally Radio 5 has a clicking noise every 10 seconds or so or loses signal for a micro-second, its bloody annoying and only happens on Radio 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Planet Rock on all day, unless there is a match on when its R5Live in crystal clear quality. Only downside is Solent broadcast the blue filth on digital when they are playing.

Saint in Paradise Posted 18 April, 2011 Share Posted 18 April, 2011 As there appears to be no appropriate section for Deppo apart from TMS please would the mods only allow him access to that section. This would ensure that his disruptive posts don't appear in sensible threads everywhere else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
