Introduction

DAB (Digital Audio Br oadcasting) technology allows many
more radio st ations compared to FM. DAB transmis sions do
away with probl ems of hiss and fade that plague AM and
FM broadcas ts and are less likely to be aec ted by adverse
weather condit ions or other sources of inter ference.
In addition to sp eech and music DAB transmissions c arry
high levels of data - f ar greater than the limited RDS
information available on FM stations.
Unlike FM, DAB is broadcast on many fre quencies.
Many countrie s in Europe, including the UK use Band III
(174-240 MHz); others, France fo r example, use the L-Band
(1452-1492 MHz). Germany uses both ban ds.
Your radio can tune Ba nd III. Countries in Europe that u se
Band III include: Belgium, Denmar k, Holland, Italy, Norway,
Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzer land. Your radi o will tune
stations in a ll these countries.
Your radio cannot receive French or Ger man stations
broadcas ting in the L-Band though FM ser vices are
available all over Euro pe.
Being digital, DAB transmissions c an have a wider
frequency range and greater dy namics than that available
with FM technol ogy.
FM reception is avai lable on the DAB1101ST for use in those
locations w here there is no usable DAB ser vice.
Check how many stations you can get in your area by
texting DAB and your postcod e to 88600# or nd out whic h
stations on t he website at: getdigitalradio.com
A headphone ou tput is provided for per sonal listening.
