Are there external FM and DAB dipole aerials?

I have recently installed external FM and DAB dipole aerials for a customer who had purchased a Denon DRA-F107 DAB system. I installed the Aerials, connected the DAB reciever caried out a scan and found 52 channels – job done (or so I thoughts….)

What to do if your DAB is not working?

The first was the DAB initialize (which im assuming that you have tried) The second was a kind of system reset which involved unplugging the receiver and holding the “Preset <” and “Auto preset” buttons whilst plugging the unit back in. This should be done before the DAB Initialize as it will basically factory default its settings.

Do you need to initialize DAB before initializing?

This should be done before the DAB Initialize as it will basically factory default its settings. Hope this works for you as I spent a lot of time trying to get my head around this very annoying problem!

How can I Fix my Denon DAB signal?

No Service. Moved the unit into a position where i new there is definitley a signal, by checking with other DAB radios a fraction of the price. Auto scanned again. No service. I then read the manual. Page 18. It says you can manually tune using ‘tuning aid’. Press [DAB/RDS] on the remote (when dab radio is selected).
