You have a portable digital radio with a headphone socket ?
Has your radio got an aux input on the front?
If so, you’re laughing

If not, there are things that will plug in the back of most makes to allow a mp3 etc to plug in, so could do that plus yr DAB radio – I’ve done it on 2 fords and a beemer

(that PURE thing is a posh version of what I had (mk1 I suppose) – mine works pretty well, only v occasional dropouts)

freddyG’s is what I use – is fine

(adaptor I had was “connects2” – about 30 quid)

Try an internet radio app. Should work but devours data.

Hang on.

sadex – my “radio” is in the centre console. Doesn’t need to be visible unless you change staions a lot. I only use 5 and 6 and have preset buttons for them. The only visible lead is from the aerial and that’s pretty much hidden behind trim etc

Get a double socket adaptor (ansmann ones are good, some seemed to make my radio noisy) and away you go, pretty much same as now

Tick. I love 6 and BBC Asian on DAB 😀

Tunein and Iphone for me, bluetooth to car audio system.

You could chuck a sh1tload of albums on a 16Gb or even a 32Gb flashdrive, which wouldn’t cost a lot, or else you just plug the end of your iPods dock lead into it, if you have an iPod. If you have, it’ll show track data etc.

The fact that 6 still isn’t broadcast over the airwaves is unquestionably the greatest injustice facing mankind today. I’m not even joking.

But it is. I listen on a little bedside dock/radio, and at work I have a little portable that will fit in a large-ish pocket. There’s no wifi, so no Internet radio, so it must, therefore, be broadcast over the airwaves.
So it’s a digital signal. There were stations on AM that were never transmitted on FM, and there are many more on DAB.
The fact that most are utter trash, like Kiss FM, is beside the point.
I’m just being picky, though; I do agree that 6 ought to be on a non-digital band as well, although there’s an argument to be made for keeping it DAB, as it gets more widely known, to encourage more take-up of actual DAB radio sets.
Putting DAB/DAB+ sets in cars as standard would be a good start…

I tried 6 the other day and it seemed lame. Will give it another go.

Horses for courses. I think the Cerys/Huey/Jarvis run is a terrific listen

are you 15 years old? 😀

my default radio station for home.

I used to love the freakzone on a sunday afternoon –
moved it now though…

Had one of those pure highway things before and it was ok but reception could be quite hit and miss- even bridges could cause it to cut out. Now have factory fitted DAB radio (ford) and it is loads better- probably due to having loads more antennae dotted around the car- in front and rear bumpers etc. For this reason I think DAB head units as aftermarket fitment may well be disappointing.
If you have a smart phone and don’t mind using the data allowance then internet radio app over bluetooth or aux socket seems the way to go.
Areas with poor 3g signal tend to have a poor DAB signal too (eg snake pass- nothing much between ladybower and glossop)

As with Simon above, Sunday’s line up, all day, is brilliant. I’d go as far as to include Stuart Maconie’s Freak Zone as well.

Radcliffe and Maconie from 1pm weekdays keeps me sane when working from home.

wish I could access iplayer whilst listening on a DAB to listen to shows I’ve missed

Squeezebox radio is the answer. Listen live or full access to iPlayer (though think you need to run it with a server and the iPlayer plugin for this).
