    You need to turn off a setting, think it's DAB service link but I'm in the office and not the car right now so can't quite remember!

    Arob.sco is right, switch off the DAB Service Link.

    The alternative frequecy option is only for FM.

    I'd like to know the exact opposite, because mine would stay on DAB so I had to put up with lots of complete loss of radio signal. I switched to FM permanently and it's much more reliable, it's just that DAB has clearer sound especially in the higher frequencies. It would be good to have it use DAB then switch to FM automatically when the digital signal is poor, so I'll have a look into that setting.

    Lol,one off and other back on.

    If signal does start to go off and on bad it's the old FM.

    Sure there is a top aerial to pick up a better signal,mine is good but not A1

    Tried small aerial which is the stubby one by ford and worse,even phone plays up.

    Was the small aerial the same as the focus st one? I only noticed the st was smaller a few days ago.
