This enables the amount of stations on a multiplex to be maximised. Speech and News are often broadcast at a lower Bit Rate; music needs a higher Bit Rate for good fidelity.
SIGNAL ERROR RATE: This Signal Error Rate is a measure of the signal quality. The lower the figure, the better the signal quality. The Signal Error Rate display is helpful when setting up the aerial wire. Move the wire to minimise the readiong on your favourite stations.
