Scanning for stations

The first time you use Tangent Spectrum DAB, or if the station list is

empty, the radio automatically performs a full scan to see what stations are available. You may also need to start a scan manually to update the list of stations for one of the following reasons: New stations may become available from time to time.

Stations close or can no longer be received (In the station list, invalid stations are indicated with a question mark in front of their name).

If reception was not good for the original scan (for example the antenna was not up), this may result in an empty or incomplete list of available stations.

If you have poor reception of some stations causing the audio to break up, you may wish to list only stations with good signal strength.

The icon on the bottom right corner of the display shows the strength of the DAB/DAB+ signal.

To do a full scan

Choose full scan and press knob SCAN to choose full scan.

Once a scan is complete, the radio returns to playing the previouslyselected station or first station on the station list. When in DAB mode and playing, short press the knot it will enter station list.

Manual tune As well as the normal method of scanning, you can also manually tune to a particular channel/frequency. This can be useful for adjusting your antenna to achieve the best possible reception and scanning a particular channel to update the station list.

Press and hold Info/Menu and choose Manual tune then use the knob or Tuning button to display a particular channel/frequency, press knob to tune to that channel/frequency. The display shows a live indication of the received signal strength on the selected frequency. Adjustments to your antenna will be manifested in the received signal strength displayed. Note: The division in the signal strength bar indicates the audio quality threshold – if the signal strength, as indicated by the solid rectangles, falls below this threshold the audio quality will deteriorate.

When a channel/frequency is selected also scans for any DAB stations on the selected frequency and updates the station list with any new stations found. To listen to any stations found, return to the Now playing screen and select the required station from the station list as normal.

Dynamic range compression (DRC) This function reduces the difference between the loudest and quietest audio being broadcast. Effectively, this makes quiet sounds comparatively louder, and loud sounds comparatively quieter. Note: DRC only works if it is enabled by the broadcaster for a specific station. Press and hold Info/Menu and choose DRC > The options available are: DRC High | Low | Off.

FM radio mode receives analogue radio from the FM band and displays RDS (Radio Data System) information about the station and show (where broadcast).
