y Signal Strength: This setting will display a signal strength bar graph. The longer the bar graph, the
stronger the signal. Setting the display to show signal strength is useful when setting up the aerial for
the strongest signal.
y Multiplex name: DAB Digital radio stations are broadcast in multiplex. Each multiplex is a bundle of
radio stations transmitted in a single frequency. There are national and local multiplex; 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.
y Multiplex Number/Freq: This option will display the multiplex number and frequency that contains the
station you are listening to.
y Signal Error Rate: This option will display the level of signal errors in the current broadcast. The lower
the number, the better quality of the signal.
y 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 amount of stations on a
multiplex to be maximized. Speech and News are often broadcast at a lower Bit Rate; music needs a
higher Bit Rate for good fidelity.
y Time and Date: time and date are updated by broadcasted information.
