Default DAB Radio

I am new to the whole mobile DAB radio thing though I have been using stationary ones for years.

Is it just mine, or do others in Melbourne find that it drops out a fair bit - when driving under a bridge for example? I find it a bit irritating, really. Driving out on the Eastern Freeway for example, it will drop out several times. It is annoying they have not put extra antennas in the freeway tunnels, too.

Cheers

Oh, good, so it isn't just me...

Why didn't they put in a stronger transmitter?

I have the same problem at home, it comes and goes randomly, even with an extra antenna.

Hmmm... Lucky you. The Brisbane transmitter must be higher or stronger.

I found the transmission footprints here:

Looks like we got screwed in Melbourne, and I'll bet the ABC transmitter is the weakest...
