IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING DAB+ RECEPTION

DAB+ radio reception is different from FM radio reception.

  • In FM, you can often still receive a weak station, but probably with a rustling or crackling sound.
  • DAB + reception works digitally and if there is not enough signal you hear nothing.
  • No hiss or crackle as with FM. This is not due to the radio, but to the fact that there is not enough DAB+ signal at that location.
  • DAB + rule is no or weak reception = no sound.

What can you do if you do not have direct DAB+ reception?

  • Always point the antenna straight up vertically first.
  • Do not place the radio too close to potential sources of interference such as battery chargers, rotating machinery, computers, large metal surfaces, etc.
  • Move the radio a few meters.
  • Turn on the radio and activate a full scan in the DAB+ menu
  • In the display of the radio, you will see the progress of the scan and the number of stations found in the current position of the radio.

Important

  • With DAB+ reception, there can be a very big difference in reception level between one location and “a few meters away”. In case of a local weak DAB+ signal, move the radio to find a stronger signal.
  • If you take the radio to another location, perform a full scan again. This will show you which DAB+ stations can be received there.
