Not much chance of Digital Radio working in Cork at the moment.

It might not be good to pick up a digital radio from Taiwan, unless it has the DAB standard badge on it. It might not be a Band III device. Tell me what make it is first, before I come to a conclsion on that.

RTÉ are currently conducting a DAB test, from transmitters in Dublin and Louth. No news on expansion just yet.

During the current weather conditions (high pressure) it might work (temporarily) on the coast, best try a hill looking out to sea with a clear path in the direction of South West Wales/England, due to 'lift' conditions!
