    Does anyone know if DAB radio service can be received in Carlow and surounding areas? Thinking of purchasing dab stereo, but would like to know if it's going to work before spending money

    I have one installed and I find it utter ****e not just in Carlow btw. Perhaps with a better aerial it might improve but I wouldn't be bothered with it to be honest.

    Yea I think DAB is only in Dublin Cork and Limerick now so you probably won't pick it up in this area.

    I have a Roberts old model, the newer version is the 93i it's on Amazon at £136 which is about 160 euro now that pound has dropped in value. This one even has DAB included but there are lots of models from about 100e upwards.

    Best of luck.
