Display of station information in DAB
mode. The DAB radio receiver supports the DAB,
DAB+ and DMB-Audio broadcasting stand-
ards. In Europe, digital radio is transmitted via
Band III frequencies (174 MHz to 240 MHz)
and the L Band (1452 MHz to 1492 MHz).
The frequencies of the two bands are referred
to as “
channels

Several DAB stations are combined into one
channel with the additional services availa-
ble in a “block”.
