L-band
For the DAB radio reception in different countries, different frequency ranges
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 to leave this menu item turned off. The channel scan is therefore faster.27Radio
