Can't get phantom fm on my radio anymore

    Since my return to north Dublin, i105-107fm, a midlands based radio station, has taken over the frequency where phantom 105.2fm was previously.

    Has anyone in the same area experienced this problem too and what can be done about it?

    They're VERY close together alright, but they shouldn't be overlapping. i105-107 is on 104.9 in North co. Dublin and Phantom 105.2 is on (shock!) 105.2.

    As far as I'm aware, every station is supposed to be at least 0.3 away from the next station - so no station should be interfering with any other so much that the sound from one can be heard over the other. It may, for you, just be a case of tweaking your tuner slightly or getting a better radio receiver.

    Hi Melanie,

    Im sorry you cant hear Phantom at the moment. I105-107 are on 105.00 and it is causing us problems in North Dublin. Can you let me know what part of North Dublin you are in and I can chase it up with the regulator.

    Regards,

    Hi Simon,

    I'm living in Balbriggan.
    I was living in Cork in seven months and was looking forward to tuning into Phantom upon my return but was very annoyed to hear this new station has taken over Phantom's frequency.

    Thanks Melanie,

    I will follow up on that and get back to you. Youre not the first to have reported problems but it takes a fair bit to get the regulator to take attention. Messages like yours help and are much appreciated.

    I'm also in Balbriggan. i105 sounds perfectly clear on 104.95 and 105.00. On 105.20 it has very fuzzy reception but is dominant over Phantom which can barely be heard in the background. Here's hoping the regulator can act on this.
