Multiplex name: DAB Digital radio stations are broadcast in multiplex. Each multiplex is a
bundle of radio stations transmitted in a single frequency. These are national and local
multiplex; local ones contain stations specific to your area. This option displays the name of the
multiplex name that contains the station you are listening to.
Multiplex Number/Freq: This option will display the multiplex number and frequency that
contains the station you are listening to.
Signal Error Rate: This option will display the level of signal errors in the current broadcast. The
lower the number, the better quality of the signal.
Bit Rate: DAB allows broadcasters to vary the BIT RATE (or the amount by which an audio
signal can be compressed) depending on the type of broadcast. This enables the amount of
stations on a multiplex to be maximized. Speech and News are often broadcast at a lower Bit
Rate; music needs a higher Bit Rate for good fidelity.
Time and Date: time and date are updated by broadcasted information.
