Cheap chinese rubbish again.

Maybe not given that the car 5V ports give the same result.

People on here have sneered at me about worrying about these voltage
converters, saying who uses radios these days, well...

We sneered about your use of SW and MW radio.

My suggestion is a ferrit ring on the two sides of the circuit, but if its
built into one of the units it depends where its getting into the system,
if its through the electrics, than a choke and capacitor might sort it,
but if its radiating from the power cable to the dab aerial then apart
from the ferrite bead idea, I'm at a loss,

Likely a better DAB antenna.

You don't get such problems with the less efficient series regulators as
they are analogue. Of course it could be some interference from the camera
electronics, but that is less likely.

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!
