Analogue radio on 1341kHz
Saturday 16 May 2015 12:36PM

The Map for Radio Ulster on 1341 KHz looks a tad optimistic. In reality in daytime on a car radio its just about audible in Dublin and doesn't really get into the West of Ireland at all (unless one has an outdoor wire antenna but nowadays such things are the preserve of a small fringe of hardcore anoraks). The BBC themselves don't regard its coverage of NI to be adequate as they have a second transmitter in Enniskillen.

And Radio Foyle for Derry/Londonderry is only carried on 792 KHz

Surely its still OK to use Channel 65 though since the 4G networks are using it as a "duplex gap" ?

With a 4G filter fitted to the RF input of your Skybox or distribution Channels 64 and upwards should be useable in most places ?

What exactly is meant by the term "public service channels" ? Seems bizzare that ITV or Channel 5 is described as such but (apparently) not BBC4 ?
