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

DAB OPERATION

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.
