Been getting them in stereo last couple of days, signal a bit choppy in around south. Keep hearing beat clashes from the dj's :whistle

In stereo? are you sure never know a station on 106 or 105.6 in stereo before,it takes more band width are there isn't much on that freq.

Im getting the stereo light on with two different tuners with 106.0fm. Not sure if its actually proper stereo as only playing the sound through my mono tecsun speaker in my office.

Maybe they are using 19khz to switch the rig on and off?

evening all,
its a full stereo signal on 106 and I can hear it ok here in Romford but there is a bit of bleeding from .2 up and down, not getting any RDS from it at the moment.

my Toyota radio is not the best and don't really pick up weaker stations but I get a few pirates and it sounds quit good, although not sure about what they are playing lol.

touch had loads of problems when they came back on just a few months ago
the block they where using got hit and they where unable to get back onto the roof i think thats why its been so "hit and miss" over the last few months.
the touch fm from back years ago was a spot on. good professional hosts. and live almost all of the time.

Looks like an African station has switched on 106.0 now solid signal around London RDS reads SAVIOUR.

Not another 1. Completely taking over the dial no doubt they will be left to stay on air by Ofcom to preach their racist hate everyday like many others do, while Ofcom go about taking off the Dance music stations who actually do it for the music

Talking about hating preachers are the worst of them all still on air Galaxy 102.5fm ? got to be something dodgy going on there if they are allowed to broadcast this long, maybe a backhander to Ofcom or Ofcom are just plain scared to touch them or get involved with taking them off air.

Cant get anything African here on 106.0, must be another totally shite installation. I was hoping Exposed Beats would be back, there was a good dnb show on Thurs a few weeks back...

X Beats were getting out well on 106.0, what was on it before they moved on to there?
