To listen in you will need a DAB digital radio sets available from many high street electrical and hi-fi retailers. Most DAB radio sets will receive both FM and DAB stations - so you can have the best of both worlds!

    Phantom 105.2 is now part of an industry group called digitalradio.ie up to explore the development and promotion of digital radio in Ireland. This is the beginning of a collaborative effort by the radio sector to look at digital radio.
