| Digital Audio Broadcasting
(DAB) means your radio's signal is transmitted digitally, as a
series of 'zeros and ones' as apposed to the traditional FM
analogue radio waves. |
 |
DAB is commonly mistaken for radios with a digital
display. This is not the case. Look out for the genuine DAB
logo (see top right).
Programs are broadcast inside a
multiplex which is composed of six to ten radio stations on a
single frequency. The result is DAB allows broadcasts of more
programs than FM. You don't need a satellite dish to receive
the signal just an aerial positioned in the correct
place.
