hi guys, not sure which forum for this, my 17 plate Qashqai has local fm radio, which I usually listed to, the station also broadcasts in DAB, there is a program I regularly listen to on a Wednesday night but tomorrow I will be travelling home from Scotland, 210 miles, I know I will start to receive fm when about 35 miles from home but at that time I will have missed one hour of the program, I have never listened to DAB in the car so wondered at what estimated distance I will be able to receive DAB, I appreciate answers will only be estimated but will appreciate any help and advice

As I understand it - DAB has similar distance limitations , unless the station is a National one - IE Radio 1

Similar range restrictions apply to DAB unless the channel is a national one, such as Radio 1 vampire survivors

The other option you have is using an app on your mobile for your preferred radio station and streaming over Bluetooth or cable to your stereo.
This way your only limit is cell coverage. (And a data allowance)
I use this for both Nation Scotland & Radio Clyde when I’m driving in England
