No use in the car as it will just drop out all the time, and doesn’t cover most of the TT course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders Posted May 9, 2023 Share Posted May 9, 2023 So which is Manx Radio using? DAB or DAB+ ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the rock will need ~6 transmitters for full coverage. For me the big advantage is receiving Jazz FM in the car, although I only go out once a week or so. Despite what's written above, quality is not always as good as internet streaming of FM - depends on the station's bitrate in the multiplex.

Never heard of Jazz FM, and it’s not available on DAB over here. I just asked Siri and Alexa in the car to play it and it came straight up. No need for DAB at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no quality control. They don't care. "TT marshall" Cici has been offered a place at the Liverpool Institute for performing arts to study design in September this year. But she doesn't have the funds. She's since setup a Crowdfunding page 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
