DLS (Dynamic Label Segment): This is a scrolling message giving real-time information-
song titles, news headlines, etc.
PROGRAMME TYPE: This describes the style of the programme being broadcast.
SIGNAL STENGTH: This setting will display a signal strength bargraph. The longer the
bargraph, the stronger the signal. Setting the display to show signal strength is useful when
setting up the aerial for the strongest signal.
MULTIPLEX NAME: DAB Digital radio stations are broadcast in multiplexes. Each multiplex
is a bundle of radio stations transmitted in a signal frequency. There are national and local
multiplexes; 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 .
MULTIPLEX NUMBER/FREQ: This option will display the multiplex number and frequency
that contains the station you are listening to.
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.
TIME AND DATE: Time and date are updated by broadcasted information.
