Multiplex Name:
DAB Digital radio
stations are broadcast in multiplexes.
Each multiplex is a bundle of radio
station transmitted in a single
frequency. There are national and local
multiplexes; 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 the 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 maximised.
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.
