Black Cat Radio awarded funding to help expand digital radio across St Neots & A428 corridor - Feddit UK

St Neots’ Black Cat Radio has secured grant funding from National Highways as part of the A428 improvement project’s legacy programme to help expand digital radio coverage across St Neots & Huntingdon.

The new local small-scale DAB radio multiplex in Hastings has finally launched and, amusingly - given the currently broadcasting stations are somewhat dadrock adjacent - the 'info channel' of the SSDAB is currently, perhaps unknowingly(?), labelled SSDAD-Info #ssdab #dab #dabradio #radio #dadrock

Anyone using DAB USB sticks? Might they be better than all-in-one radios?

Anyone using DAB USB sticks? Might they be better than all-in-one radios? - LibreTechni.ca

I have accummulated half a dozen DAB radios. None of them have an antenna jack, thus limited to the stock built-in telescopic antenna. Most of the radios do not pick up BBC. A Noxon DAB USB stick just appeared at a local flea market dirt cheap. A quick search suggests folks have apparently got it working on linux [https://github.com/merlinux81/DVB-Realtek-RTL2832U], and even rasberry pi [https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=23478]. It comes with a tiny rubber ducky type of antenna but it’s detachable, so a high end antenna could perhaps replace it. Also looks like this hardware is ~14 years old, so probably as mature as it’s going to get. Is anyone grabbing album art and scheduling metadata over these USB sticks?

Spent ages retuning the DAB radio I won some years ago (A Roberts radio) in order to be able to pickup both Boom and Boom light. I listen to neither. Just one of those procrastination distractions that 'had' to be done for unrequired completeness.
In other radio news; STV Radio? Really?
