it's normal if you are on the limits reception, as it's digital it's either on or off, unfortunatly aus kinda dropped the ball on Digital radio, even the gold coast doesn't have it.

Its just like Mobile Phone reception, you either have it or you dont. I gave up on DAB after a couple of months in to ownership.

Don't know what the fuss is about DAB. Cuts out around town, poor reception out of town and worst of all, poor sound quality. Mustang audio has much, much better sound when streaming music of my phone.

I use it all the time instead of AM radio as it doesn't break-up next to the electrified train tracks like AM radio does.

I love it around Brisbane, but it drops out at around 75kms north or south of the city.

while in range i love DAB, you don't get the 59 mins off adds and stupid presenter bullshit per hour.

Speaking of DAB. I use it all the time around brisbane, works flawlessly.

However not a single station was found when Iwas in Sydney with it last month.

The only thing that disappoints me about digital radio is that there is no song or artist info shown on the display for the current or next song.. I remember reading years ago that that would be a feature of digital radio so I was looking forward to it.

I figured there'd be no more having to fire up Shazam or Siri and find out the Artist/Song name, but, sadly not the case.

I think it depends on the station, I get current and next info on quite a few stations

I've driven a lot in the UK with DAB - and it;s brilliant.

Sadly, even driving in inner most suburbs of Sydney it drops in and out.

DAB is fabulous, seriously, But for those people complaining about limited station choice.......you should only EVER be listening to Triple M Classic Rock!!! Nothing else is worth it. And with that station there is artist and track info :-)
