DAB INTRODUCTION

DAB (Digital Audio Broadcasting) technology allows many more radio stations compared to FM. DAB transmissions do away with problems of hiss and fade that plague AM and FM broadcasts and are less likely to be affected by adverse weather conditions or other sources of interference. In addition to speech and music DAB

transmissions carry high levels of data - far greater than the limited RDS information available on FM stations. Unlike FM, DAB is broadcast on many frequencies. Many countries in Europe, including the UK use Band III (174-240 MHz); others, France for example, use the L-Band (1452-1492 MHz). Germany uses both bands. Your radio can tune Band III. Countries in Europe that use Band III include: Belgium, Denmark, Holland, Italy, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland. Your radio will tune stations in all these countries. Your radio cannot receive French or German stations broadcasting in the L-Band though FM services are available all over Europe. Being digital, DAB transmissions can have a wider frequency range and greater dynamics than that available with FM technology.

Check how many statiosn you can get in your area: www.digitalradio.de.
