Some hi-fi’s have external AM aerials that tend to look like many wires wound around a plastic loop. This needs to be rotated to find the best signal. FM radio signals can be affected by fine weather including high pressure and the only solution is to wait for the weather to change, you should not re-tune during this time. Our information on how clear skies and fine weather can affect your radio receptionmay be useful, please see our Weather Guide. Pirate Radio AM reception can vary a great deal from day to night because of differences in the atmosphere. You may get good, clear reception during the day, but after sunset the signal may fade or become distorted. This is why you can often hear radio stations from outside the UK at night. Our information on how clear skies and fine weather can affect your radio receptionmay be useful, please see our Weather Guide. If you suffer from reception problems in the evening, this suggests that the signal getting to your television is not quite strong enough. Changes in the weather, temperature or atmospheric pressure can cause an already poor signal to break up or be lost. There might be a possibility to extend the Kingdom breakfast show to the Dundee and Perth "Original" transmitters to make it sound a wee bit more local. The current output on 102 and 106.6 is very Aberdeeny - which works really well for Aberdeen but not so much for Tayside.

Ensure the telescopic/integrated aerial is fully extended. Try moving the radio around to see if you can find a better position where you get good reception of all the stations you want to listen to. I like a station that can still have local or regional news weather and traffic news though out the day and early evening. If your car radio is showing no signal or no service for a station you usually receive, this could be down to one of the following things: A signal amplifier should only be used as a last resort when the televisionsignal is weak. Even the best amplifier will still add some noise to the television signal it is amplifying/boosting that could result in picture break up. A good amplifier should have a filter built in that only allows the signal you want to be boosted and not any unwanted signals. Otherwise, all the unwanted signals will also be boosted, which can causepictures to break up.

A television signal will always lose some of its strength as it passes along the cable and through the connectors. Therefore it is important to minimise the loss by using good quality cable and connectors. In most circumstances the supplied telescopic aerial should be perfectly adequate, and as a rule of thumb DAB aerials tend to work best when vertical and extended at least 35 cm. If your radio reception is poorthen you could consideran external aerial for best reception quality. Even in good areas an external aerial will guarantee optimum performanceand will also ensure consistent listening quality.

Telescopic aerials on portable radios should be fully extended to receive a good signal. Tilting and swivelling the aerial will help to get the best signal. Broken aerials may affect reception. I think that's highly unlikely to happen unfortunately. More likely that more shows will be shared with Breakfast being the last one to come form the Kingdom studios. BBC Local and Nations radio services on DAB digital radio are transmitted by commercial broadcasting operators. In some areas there is not yet a local DAB service on air, so not every BBC station is currently available on this platform. This is because the BBC's digital multiplex is already used to full capacity for BBC Network services. Poor DAB reception can also be caused by equipment used in the vehicle. For example, phone chargers or dash cams sometimes cause interference and affectyour radio signal. Try unplugging the items to see if one of them is causing any interference. Use our Transmitter Tool to see whetheryour local transmitter is currently affected by maintenance work. Stereo SignalIf you are experiencing pixellation or picture break up, it may be that your signal is too strong as this often presents itself similarly to a weak signal. This is likely to happen if you live close to a transmitter. The telescopic aerial fitted to stereo portables is a compromise and the radio will often only give really good results if connected to an external aerial. If that’s not possible, switch to mono as it will usually sound better. Some sets do this automatically. These split the TV signal from a single aerial and allow the signal to be sent to several different televisions in the building.
