DAB & FM off-air logging

Log your DAB or FM the way a listener hears it.

A compact box demodulates your live off-air signal — DAB+ or FM — and records it continuously, gap-free. Because it's already decoding the transmission, it monitors it around the clock too: no separate product, no à-la-carte add-on.

Also run an online stream? We'll log that too — server-side, no box needed. It's great monitoring and listen-again, but note that only off-air capture is Ofcom compliance evidence. See stream tiers →

Signal & audio, in detail

It isn't just recording. It's listening to the whole transmission.

Because the box sees the reception exactly as a listener's radio does, it measures it — continuously, second by second. Two layers, one device.

RF · Reception

The signal itself

Is the transmission actually getting out — and getting out cleanly?

  • DAB bit-error rate (BER)Rising errors flag a mux or coverage problem before it becomes audible dropout.
  • Signal strength & lockEnsemble and service lock, RF level — know the instant the box loses your service on the multiplex.
  • Reception dropoutsMomentary losses on the off-air signal, logged and timestamped against GPS.
  • FM: RSSI, multipath & pilotFor FM stations — carrier strength, multipath distortion and stereo-pilot presence.
Audio · Content

What's on it

Is there real programme audio — at the right level, within the rules?

  • Dead air & silenceConfigurable silence threshold and hold — catches a jammed playout or an off-air fault fast.
  • Level: low & clippingUnder-modulation and clipping/over-level, so you sound right on air, not just in the studio.
  • Loudness (LUFS / R128)Integrated loudness tracking against the broadcast target — no surprises on the meter.
  • Profanity & keyword watchFlag watershed breaches and spoken keywords automatically, with a jump-to-moment link.
Alerts & retrieval

Know before your listeners tell you.

Alerts, your way

Email, or pushed into Slack, Microsoft Teams, PagerDuty or any webhook. Prefer to pull? Poll a read-only status API from your own monitoring. Alerts open, resolve and acknowledge themselves — no noise.

Listen again & search

Scrub any moment of the last 42 days in the browser. Search what was said and jump straight to it — transcription built in.

Automatic show tagging

Recordings label themselves with the show name — from live DAB programme data, or a schedule you upload or sync from a calendar.
