why does radio go silent
 
We have a radio in the kitchen and it has gone quiet on one radio station. I was listening ok and then nothing. If I retune to another station all is ok but tune back to the one I want, nothing.

I have been out to the car and all is ok but the car is not DAB and the radio in the kitchen is. Could it be a transmission problem? I have tried contacting the radio station but RTNR ( ring tone no reply)

I don't know for certain, but I had something similar, and was told that it was a buffering problem i.e. buffer full.

Open up the back, turn radio through 45 degrees and wait 15 seconds, is what I was told.

However, it didn't work.

Seriously, best of luck with it,

Mike

Why am I not surprised?

I think whoever told you to do that was "avin' a giraffe"

Yes, it was a bit of a tall story, that's why I went on to say "seriously, best of luck with it"

The problem is your DAB radio(old version),A while ago DAB radios were upgraded to DAB+(new version) and radio stations also upgraded their DAB signals to match,which is why you can't always get your favourite stations unless you upgrade to DAB+.
Another alternative is Internet radio,connects to your wifi and you can listen to anything in the World,at the moment i'm listening to Hot Tomato in Australia and also tune into Baden.fm Rock Hammer from Germany.
