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 aected 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.
FM reception is available on the DAB1101ST for use in those
locations where there is no usable DAB service.
Check how many stations you can get in your area by
texting DAB and your postcode to 88600# or nd out which
stations on the website at: getdigitalradio.com
A headphone output is provided for personal listening.
