DISPLAY MODES
MULTIPLEX NAME:
DAB Digital radio stations are
broadcast in multiplexes. Each multiplex is a bundle of
radio stations 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 number and frequency of the multiplex that
contains the station you are listening to.
SIGNAL ERROR:
A count of the signal errors is shown.
The lower the number, the better the signal quality.
The Signal error display will help with re-positioning
the aerial for best performance.
AUDIO 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 number 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 quality.
TIME AND DATE:
Time and date are updated by
broadcasted information.
