Fm/dab Radio Interference

[knitnat]

Is there any simple ways to try to stop a little crackling on my radio please? Works fine when i touch and hold the ariel with my finger but obviously can't do that all day. TIA

Unscrew the aerial and get a longer one. Worked with my dab radio.

There are lots of things you could try, but you may just be left with trying to get a sound in a poor reception area.

If the radio is battery powered, are the batteries fully charged ? If the radio can be powered by mains as well, is any better ? Some radios will just not perform very well unless the batteries are 100% charged.

Try another radio in the same situation ! Not all radios are a good as others. I use PURE dab radios at home ( x 4 ! ) and all of them give a really good service.

Try moving the radio to another place in the house.

Let us know how you get on....we like feedback here on AB !

It could be a simple as the aerial having come loose; touching it stops it wobbling.

Roof aerial ?

MM...I must have at least 10 radios now, in the house and the caravan.

I know, I know...too many ! But the PURE ones are the best, by a long chalk. The first one I bought was a stereo EVOKE-2, in 2004. Its still has pride of place in my kitchen.

Once in a while I connect this to my Mission Hi-fi system and I connect the input of the radio to my roof-top aerial....magnificent !
