When a DAB transmitter is a part of several broadcast stations and if the cur-
rent station group is not available on any other frequency, then when the sig-
nal is poor, the same station will be searched in another channel group. 
23Radio

Automatic change from DAB to FM
With bad DAB reception the device tries to find an FM transmitter.
The station name is followed by ( 
) while the station is being received on the
FM band. The ( 
) marker disappears when the relevant DAB station can be re-
ceived again.
If a DAB station is also not available in the FM band due to poor reception, the
device will be switched to mute.
L-band
For the DAB radio reception in different countries, different broadcasting rang-
es are used. In some countries the DAB radio reception is only possible in the
so called L-band.
If no L-band DAB radio reception is possible in the country then we recom-
mend turning off the L-band. The channel scan is therefore faster.Media
