DAB Radio Aerials
Steve from Pure Digital. If you're tired of crackling radio or your DAB keeps dropping stations, you might need a proper aerial. I install DAB and FM aerials that give you reliable reception through your hi-fi system - not just a portable radio struggling for signal. Clear radio, every station, no interference.
About this service
I'm Steve, and while TV aerials are my bread and butter, I also help Southampton residents with radio reception problems. If your DAB radio keeps losing stations, your FM crackles constantly, or you want radio through your proper hi-fi system rather than a portable, a dedicated radio aerial can make all the difference.
Radio aerial installation is occasional work for me - maybe 20% of what I do - but the principles are the same as TV aerials. Find the right aerial for your location, install it properly, run the cable neatly, and test to make sure you're getting all available stations. Simple when you know how.
- Assessment of radio signal in your area - DAB and FM coverage varies
- Proper aerial installation - loft or external depending on your situation
- Neat cable run to your radio or hi-fi system
- Testing to ensure you're receiving all available stations
What's included
Most people just put up with dodgy radio reception because they don't realize a proper aerial can fix it. If you've got a nice hi-fi system and want radio that actually sounds good, or you're in a weak signal area where portable DAB radios struggle, I can help.
- DAB aerial installation for digital radio reception
- FM aerial installation for traditional radio stations
- Combined DAB/FM aerials where appropriate
- Connection to hi-fi systems, tuners, or radio equipment
- Indoor aerials where outdoor installation isn't possible
- Testing of all stations to verify reception
Southampton's radio coverage is generally decent, but there are patches where signal struggles - especially for DAB. I know which aerials work where in our area, and I'll tell you honestly if an aerial will help or if your location just has poor coverage.
Why choose me for radio aerials
This isn't my main service, but if you need radio sorted alongside TV work, or you've got reception problems that a decent aerial would fix, I'm happy to help. I won't oversell you equipment you don't need - if a simple loft aerial will do the job, that's what I'll recommend.
If you're looking for complex multi-room radio distribution or commercial installations, I'll point you towards a specialist. But for getting decent DAB or FM into your home, I can sort that out as part of what I do. Same approach as everything else - fair prices, honest advice, work I stand behind.
