Albrecht Dr 57
Albrecht Dr 57
I have problems with Albrecht DR 56+. I already had to replace it once under warranty. The current one has similar problems. It suddenly loses the transmitters after a certain time. I then have to reset the adapter and start setting it up again from the beginning. Of course, I can send it back to Digitec and ask for a warranty replacement. But that annoys me all the time. Could I connect an Albrecht DR 57+ to the same aerial? And is the Albrecht DR 57+ better at retaining channels than the 56+?
I've had both devices and had constant problems with the 56, but I can recommend the 57 100%. It's great and the aerial fits both.
I have had the Albrecht DR 57+ for about 7-8 months now and it never loses the stations, with one understandable exception. Last week I travelled from Canton AG to Canton VD for a few days and just before Lausanne I started to lose my 5 preset stations. When I got back to AG I just re-scanned the channels and all my presets worked again. I have no idea about aerial compatibility, the DR57+ came with an aerial. I've never had any other DAB system in the car. It works perfectly for me. Incidentally, when scanning in the cantons of SZ, AG and VD, you find a different number of different stations, which is what I would expect.
It's not that it loses transmitters here and there while driving. Suddenly it no longer has all the stations stored. I have to reset it, carry out a station search and then reprogramme all the stations I want.
My adapter also loses the transmitters on certain routes. I have not attributed this to the adapter, but to the cover, because it loses the transmitters on the same routes. I keep driving until the adapter finds the transmitter again. It works normally on most roads.
