I just tried to retune to see if it worked. Basically since the DAB transmitter at Chepping High Wycombe went live my reception has virtually gone in High Wycombe only. As soon as i drive away from the Tx (3 miles from it) reception is rock solid. I will check a different radio station tonight to see if it's a particular channel. Just seems strange!

BBC M25 DAB project - new transmitter for High Wycombe area on Monday 7 February 2011 8:06AM
High Wycombe
Ahhh, that might explain it. The radio station I listen to and love is Planet Rock which obviously is not part of the BBC schedule. It seems that the BBC service is wiping out the smaller stations close to the transmitter!

I hear what you are saying. It is just very weird that the radio station was fine until this TX went online.
I did a test last weekend and drove past the TX twice on the M40 once listening to BBC and once listening to Planet Rock.
The BBC was rock solid and full signal and Planet Rock had no signal. Before this TX was updated both signals were fine.
The signal seems to go when about 300m away from the TX.
Am i right in thinking that there are different carrier frequencies for different services?

It's wierd but since this transmitter has been turned on my good DAB coverage in Wycombe has been wiped out!
Tried retuning but to no avail. Would quite like my DAB back. :-(
