About Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB)

DAB digital radio is a new way of broadcast- ing radio via a network of terrestrial transmit- ters. It provides listeners with more choice and information delivered in crystal clear, crackle-free sound quality.

-The technology allows the receiver to lock on to the strongest signal it can find.

-With DAB digital stations, there are no fre- quencies to remember, and sets are tuned by station name, so there is no re-tuning on the move.

What is a multiplex?

Digital radio operation is made up of a single block of frequencies called a multiplex. Each multiplex works within a frequency spec- trum, such as Band III for DAB broadcasts.

Helpful hints:

You will receive DAB stations only within your DAB transmission area.

DAB Broadcasters and DLS

Each DAB broadcaster (or multiplex opera- tor) also provides text and audio data servic- es. Some programmes are supported by Dynamic Label Segments (DLS).This is data which you can read as scrolling text on your DAB radio display. Some stations transmit the latest news, travel, and weather, what's on now and next, website addresses and phone numbers.
