    trouble I am having (Ive had a sony DAB+ car radio for about 2 years) is coverage.

    I live south of Mt Dandenong in Melbourne, the coverage is quiet patchy and I got sick of the drop outs.

    I have tried several antenna but they all have had less than satisfactory results.

    If i go south west through west of Mt Dandy I have no issues so I know its due to my location.

    Its a shame as I can not stand to listen to commercial radio in any form. 30 minutes of ad's and self gratification for one song, and then that song is not very good anyway.

    I am an Aussie (all Australian All the Time) and KOFFEE fan as well as 774 when in the mood for current affairs but commercial radio as well as commercial TV can eat a big brown one!!!!!!

    I put an FM only radio in my 4wd and am disappointed because I can't find news radio (AM 491) on any of the FM feeds. I agree, commercial radio sux.
    I'm out of my mind, but feel free to leave a message...

    I bought a very expensive radio a few years ago & it had everything except an AM Radio (but I mainly bought it for internet radio)
