DAB Thread

What’s the situation? Heard this “Eirdab” MUX was testing recently. Is that still on and if not is it coming back? What stations are carried? Is it just RTE outside of that?

Wages costs for RTE gold is easily 500k

Some of the best RTE gold output has been sans dj
A playlist on a loop,no talk
I guess it's back to spotify I go

It probably costs a lot of money to keep the stations online. Presenters don't work for free.

As RTE announces its closure of its multiplexes Freedab is pushing forward with the announcement of new sfn (single frequency network) to be launched in cork and Dublin within the coming weeks . We intend to push digital radio as the eu has done !!

I can't get any usable DAB service here in the north midlands but fully support anyone willing to rattle the cage. Fair play to Kevin for hoisting a flag. No doubt his plans would be strangled by bureaucracy. Can't have a government that starts giving the public what they actually want.

These djs should have faced mandatory redundancy years ago when they were no longer wanted at 2fm. The independent stations don't have the luxury of keeping on unwanted djs on tiny obscure digital stations

what the independents have or don't have isn't relevant. rte being the public service broadcaster is expected to provide a more diverse offering then the commercial independents.
so, djs of the caliber of larry gogan were absolutely rightly not made redundant.

An aerial on Mt Leinster would be nice for this side of the water !!
With a bit of power of course .. good luck .

Oh yes I see Zenith there, didn't look properly. Strange that the other two dance ones are not on it but are on the Dublin mux.

Yes, its on. 15 stations. Radio Maria isn't on DAB in Dublin. It's carried on Saorview.

Wait WLR is on DAB in Waterford? How?

Certainly no DAB in Waterford, maybe the test mux from Donnybrook is still on carrying some IBI stations?

Just wondering if anyone has any experience with interference with their DAB reception?

It's been happening so long that I'm unsure if the issue started when I got the dashcam, but when someone mentioned this issue today it dawned on me that it might have been around the same time. 'll disconnect the dashcam tonight and see if that makes any difference.

Turns out my dash-cam is the reason why I couldn't reliably tune in the Mux, didn't matter if it was running on its own battery or the Cigarette-Socket adapter.

Cheers for this, just bought a pack of ten off amazon. I'll report back on whether or not it was successful.

May I also ask to what county you were listening to and what multiplex. Eg rte freedab.

What County?.... I'm in Dublin if that's what you mean.
The issue affects both the MUX and FREEDAB stations, though the likes of RTÉ gold are much better than, say, the likes of TRAX

Thing is, it wasn't that cheap. I paid nearly €500 for the camera + installation.

I have aftermarket LED bulbs in my headlamps, when they are on I get no DAB reception on Freedab (RTE works fine). So I got some of those clips, attached them to the wiring for the headlights but still have the same issue. 100% the LEDs are the issue though.
