Some car radios may have a problem picking up our signal especially on the fringes of our range of broadcast. One problem for some makes of cars, especially Mazda which has a setting called “Alternative Frequency On/Off”. This is a feature used mainly in Europe to allow cars to automatically switch between transmitters for the same station when driving on long distances.
We have found that this may cause the car radio to shift from our station to another station or to drop out the signal. One possible fix for this problem is to change the setting for “Alternative Frequency” to Off. This can be found in your radio menu options under settings. If you’re not sure seek help from the car manufacturer. Some radio settings also include a city or country option. If this is available set it to country as this should improve the signal range for the radio receiver.
The new antennae has now been installed thanks to Malcolm Ashworth pictured here in the man cage. A long days work.
