What is DAB?
DAB radio will change the way that people listen to radio over the next few years. You will probably not be aware that digital radio will become mandatory in the future as the terrestrial radio frequencies which you currently listen to will be re allocated for other uses such as emergency services. This means that today you are one of the pioneers using this technology, however in a short space of time everybody will benefit from clear digital radio.
Digital radio offers an abundance of new digital only stations and improved sound quality. There are no frequencies to remember so the CCR231DAB can be tuned by searching through station names. The audio quality of DAB is near that of a CD with virtually no interference and no retuning. DAB is also enhanced with DLS (Digital Label Segment), this is data transmitted by the station which may include information about the station, program or song (see page 9).
The BBC was the pioneer of digital radio, beginning transmissions in September 1995. Digital One, the national commercial radio multiplex operator, began broadcasting in November 1999. There has been a growth in the number of digital radio stations throughout the UK and both the BBC and Digital One are committed to extending their coverage. Digital One currently covers 80% of the UK population, soon to increase to 85%, and the BBC covers 65% with the aim of increasing coverage to 90%
Your CCR231DAB will receive DAB programs broadcast on Band 3 digital radio (174-240MHz). There are a total of 41 channels within this range numbered 5A to 13F, the number of channels you can receive will be dependant on your location and signal strength. The UK has been allocated seven multiplexes by the Radio Authority - in the spectrum 217.5-230.0 MHz, which are numbered 11B to 12D.
A multiplex is a broadcaster such as BBC National DAB or Digital One who will provide a host of different stations within their multiplex. If we
consider the BBC as an example, the following diagram shows how the BBC multiplex may work.
Below the main multiplex provider (in this case ‘BBC National DAB’) will be a number of primary stations. These are labelled with the station name (e.g Radio 2) rather than the frequency. This allows you to tune the CCR231DAB by station name, which is easier than trying to recall frequencies.
Sometimes a secondary service station may be provided by the broadcaster, for instance this is sometimes used when an alternative commentary is provided on a sporting match or event. These secondary service stations are not permanent and may not always be used for broadcast. When a secondary station is available below the primary station, a ‘>’ symbol will be displayed after the primary station name. A secondary station can be recognise by the ‘<’ symbol before the secondary station name .
Check how many stations you can get in your area by texting DAB and your postcode to 88600#, or find out which stations are available on the website at:
