How can I check my DAB coverage?

Enter your postcode into the DAB reception checker on this website.

If the postcode checker says you are ‘very likely to receive’ the stations listed, a portable radio should work well around the home. If the check results says you ‘may receive’ the stations you want, a portable radio may need careful positioning and in some cases, an external aerial may be needed.

The postcode checker predicts likely reception based on available data and ‘typical’ receiving conditions. Reception may be more difficult if you have thick stone or reinforced concrete walls, use a radio with poor sensitivity, or live in an unusually shielded location.
