How can I get better Digital radio reception?

At Jim’s Antennas we get asked all sorts of questions in regards to receiving better TV reception, but lately we have seen a lot of requests to get better Digital Radio reception and can we help out? Well the answer is…of course we can!

Digital Radio uses a far more advanced and technically robust transmission system and operates in Australia in VHF Band III (Ch9/9A).  Like other digital technologies, it uses higher frequencies which work extremely well in range but have a “cliff edge” drop off at the boundary of reception, just like digital TV.  DAB+as it is also referred to is both a cost effective and spectrum efficient technology, allowing broadcasters to offer their popular analogue stations simulcast in digital quality, as well as new digital only stations. DAB+ offers over 40 radio stations that pre-tune in automatically and has amazing sound qualities but in some locations the signal can be extremely hard to receive.

But there is a solution as there are several external Antennas that can be installed and connected to certain models of digital radio receivers to enhance your listening experience. If this is something that appeals to you then please call 131546 to arrange for one of our technicians to come out and give you a no obligation free quote and get your digital radio quality as good as your TV reception!
