If you have a DAB radio in your car, how far south of the border can you receive NI DAB radio?

I had an incar DAB radio in my old Citroen Xantia, which I sold in 2008. On the Belfast road I could get it in fits and starts between Castlebellingham and the border, with coverage nearly non-existent on the Derry road unless I was within sight of the Strabane or Derry TXs. Once on the A1 north of the border it was fine.

Currently I have a Pure DAB adaptor but coverage is so patchy and Irish DAB so poor that I rarely take it out.

Not very far. There are more transmitters now than last time I checked (my Pure DAB isn't permanently resident in the car) but it was pretty dire then.
