DAB Radio & Personal Radios

DAB stands for Digital Audio Broadcasting and there are many benefits to owning a digital radio. Firstly, audio quality is better with a digital radio compared to a traditional analogue radio. This is because digital signals are less sensitive to environmental interference from the weather and other transmissions. Another main benefit is the amount of stations available. Digital stations do not interfere with each other in the same way as analogue stations and so there is more ’ room’ for stations. Digital radios are on the whole more convenient and have more features than analogue ones. There is now no need to tune in to individual radio stations as a DAB radio, when first turned on, will scan for all available digital radio stations and compile a browsable list or you. You can then scroll through the available stations and select the one you wish to listen to; your DAB radio will immediately start broadcasting that station. When DAB radios first seriously hit the market in the 90s, as with all new technology, they were quite expensive. However, now that digital radio is commonplace, digital radios are available at a very broad range of prices from budget radios up to the expensive models with the ability to pause and rewind radio stations as you listen.
