A useful website, but in mountainous terrain the maps aren't at all realistic. The map does not show the official coverage at all, just a radius based on power. This transmitter covers only the coastal areas around Loch Gairloch, and provides no coverage whatever in Loch Ewe or Loch Torridon, both of which the map suggests are fully covered.
A far more accurate map is available on Ocom's website at http://www.ofcom.org.uk/s….pdf

This transmitter covers only the coastal areas around Loch Ewe and Loch Maree, and provides no coverage whatever in Gairloch or Torridon to the south, nor the Loch Brooms and Coigach to the north, all of which the map suggests are fully covered.

The marker for Melvaig DAB on the map showing transmitters in Highland still says "coming soon", but it's been in service since last September. The same probably applies to some of the neighbouring ones such as Skriag as well.

Unfortunately Lochbroom FM 96.8MHz has been silent since December owing to an ongoing fault at its parent transmitter in Ullapool.

Great resource here, but I notice it doesn;t seem to have Two Lochs Radio (aka 2LR) on the alphabetical 'comprehensive' list of stations, even though it does appear on the map of transmitters and on the list of frequencies (106.0 & 106.6 MHz).
