Digital Audio Broadcast (DAB)

DAB Basic Information

DAB is short for ‘Digital Audio Broadcast’ and is a new form of radio broadcasting which utilizes digital technology. DAB is capable of providing near CD quality audio with virtually interference free reception.

DAB operates in frequency band III (174

–240MHz). Band III is divided into 41 chan- nels labeled 5A to 13F.

DAB channels are categorized into ensembles, which are also known as multiplexes. Each multiplex provides a number of stations and each service contains a primary service that can contain secondary services. DAB technol- ogy allows broadcasters to transmit additional data along with the audio, which can include other audio channels, text and in the future, even images and computer data.

NOTE: When the DAB tuner is used for the first time the FL display will ask whether you want to auto-tune to find the available ser- vice in your area. For most applications auto-tune should only need to be carried out once. Select <YES> to confirm the selection. The tuner will then search automatically for available stations on the DAB network. The number of stations received will depend on the location of your aerial and the available multiplexes in your area. For optimal recep- tion we recommend using a dedicated out- door aerial.
