It's not your radio, it's the aerial that's crap in these vans
Explanation required please??? As I said. big luton overhead means that a standard wing mounted antenna wont work.

Dave, tried one, (a DAB), but as soon as the sat nav powers up, that goes to SLUSH as well.........And it isn't even plugged in to the 12volt.

Then the problem isn't the radio its the pratnav giving off spurious RF radiation. Check if your pratnav has an RF modulator output for linking to a radio for clearer vocal instructions and if it has try turning it off.

Don't know whether you can make it out.In 1st picture it is in the panel below windscreen & take a line vertically up from filler in wing & slightly to the right-
I changed it when in UK last year for the one shown which works perfectly. The original which was adjustable kept falling off.

Later that evening after his wife had cooked the tea, he'd finished his pipe and the Home Service had closed down, Tootles put his Funster chums' wireless advice into action:

Thanks Robert. Already been down this route, following an earlier suggestion some months ago by Graham, (GJH) I bought a fully shielded cigar lighter USB connector for the sat nav, and used a USB cable in place of the cigar power connector that came with it. No different. :(

Does DAB radio pick up any English speaking channels when you are in Europe?

The range of DAB transmitters in the UK (where we live anyway) is not very far. Ive got a DAB radio in my car and find the stations often 'drop out', whereas FM seems to be pretty constant.
I doubt if any DAB stations would make it to Europe.
