Are there any planned engineering works or unexpected transmitter faults on the Daventry (Northamptonshire, England) mast?
No problems on any service. 
UK Free TV shows the coverage area for a radio transmitter as a coloured overlay (orange for FM, other colours for DAB) on the grey map. We have computed the coverage by combining the terrain with the official radiation pattern. A single click will select the transmitter to view the coverage for a single site, and a double click goes to a page showing full details. Click on the buttons in the right-hand corner of the map to choose from different frequencies (or multiplexes for DAB).

neville.breakspear: Do you get any signal strength reading, possibly with a high BER when the aerial is set vertical? I am wondering if you are getting interference from London/12A transmitted from Zouches Farm. With the aerial set to horizontal you would lose the much weaker, unwanted signal.

neville.breakspear: "When they become available next year, the frequencies on which these local radio multiplex services were broadcast will be used to improve the coverage of other local DAB radio multiplex services in various parts of the UK. Improving the coverage of local DAB services is part of the Government's radio switchover strategy, and re-using the frequencies in this way will help to provide more consistent availability of DAB throughout the UK. "
I am in the process of doing a full write-up.

Very poor dab coverage in Northampton from this transmitter I don't like the fact we don't have our own Dab mast for classic .
We have 7 dab radios all work ok on NORTHAMPTON mast but not on daventry mast

Hi
I receive very good Dab reception on12B and 10C, I believe these frequencies are broadcast from the Kingsthorpe transmitter? However, I am not getting such good reception for frequency 11A (SDL) is this transmitted from Daventry? Could I combine two aerials so I can receive from both transmitters if this is the case? Thank you
