They don't broadcast a DAB signal round here but they don't tell you that when you go to buy a radio.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Thanks, that will make her squeak 
I looked for the petrol cap on it and lost interest when I couldn't find it.

I think you'll find that there's a map of DAB coverage on the internet? My bro checked it out before buying me one for my last bithday.
Very good things, very impressive quality even when taking the aux output through my amplifier and floor standing speakers. Only narrowly discernible
from CD quality. (assuming quality broadcast, and there is some difference between the stations, I assume as a result of the respective transmitter
distances.)

I had the same hassle when my DAb came without an arial.
However after sourcing one on Google and getting it up and working its brilliant.
If your getting on like me Arrowrock is the 60's/70's rock bo€€ocks!!
Coverage for me is very good with the only point being the A19/A690 junction where masses of high voltage cable cross overhead...
