Okay I've given up, trying to use the radio that is, the reception is awful. TMS have had a go at improving it but at the moment only FM is good enough to listen to. The reception is so poor that I have large portions of my journey with no reception at all. I know the old chestnut of "listen to the engine" but on a 4 hour journey that can get just a tad tedious. Has anyone tried DAB? If so a few questions:
1. Does it work?
2. Where do TVR fit the aerial?
3. What is the coverage like?

Dunno about DAB, try posting on the Tuscan section as they have DAB radios in some models.

I find I get 100% reception with my CD changer though ...

The latest tuscans have the bee-sting aerial mounted at the top of the boot. This usually gives much improvement over previous designs.

As for DAB the signal can be much weaker to get perfect quality reception, not sure how many radio stations are using it though.
