Thank you for the information. I also own a Shogun with a 2017 Kenwood DAB unit which is much less prone to dropping out. Mind you it alternates between DAB and FM in poor reception areas, which is great except the delay can be up to five seconds.

I think it looks like I will have to put up with it as it is. Thanks though
