DAB Radio in car
That does not mean its fixed, you might just have a cleaner voltage
regulator than the one mentioned.
I have one of those little ones deriving plus and minus five from a 9v psu
wall wart and it kills almost anything from receiving within about five
foot. Heap of junk.

My DAB has been breaking up recently and the radio automatically drops to
FM. This is a bit annoying though die to the slight time difference.
Grubbing about on a Facebook Group someone asked if I had anything plugged
into my Cigar Lighter Socket - I have - a Dashcam. I unplugged it and the
problem went away.
It seems the 12v to 5v ciruit causes interference. I found a couple of
YouTube videos that seem to confirm it.
Now I need a solution!

My dashcam is 'hard wired' to the fuse box to avoid the socket. It
was fitted by Halfords.
