    Hi all, I have an amp with Dab radio but the supplied internal antenna picks up nothing.

    I'm thinking of fitting a dedicated outdoor DAB antenna but only if it's worth it.

    What stations can I pick up in the Navan area? Can I pick up ant Northern Ireland DAB Stations?

    Hi

    I don't think a outdoor antenna will be of any help ( might be wrong ) But DAB is officially on trial in Dublin area , also DAB is not like MW /FM with coverage fading and sound fading etc , With DAB once coverage goes below a level it completely drops.
    Best of luck if you get an antenna .

    Only seen this this thread now while looking for possible dab issues,

    I'm in west offaly and have dab reception with a dipole antenna in the attic (have it set up 3 years with no issue until this evening).

    Cant see you having any issues in Meath if you dont have and obstacles in your way.
