EPG stands for Electronic Program Guide. It can help remind you about radio programs and their schedules. With this function, you can set your DAB radio to record the program at the time of the broadcast. It can automatically do that with the help of DAB. This way you will never have to miss another [...]

With the DAB, you can get more stations, less interference (this means less buzzing and crackling sound from your radio), and other additional features like automatic time synchronization and EPG. EPG or Electronic Program Guide helps you remember that you have certain stations or programs you don’t want to miss.

DAB radios are different because these radios use digital signals rather than analog signals. Think of it this way, the DAB uses fixed values of ones and zeros to transmit data. This way there is little or no chance of getting the signals damaged by electronic interference.

This is because the digital signals received are temporarily stored in a DAB unit cache. The cache is somewhat like a temporary storage for digital data. With this, you can go back to the previous data from as back as the DAB radio can remember.

The reason is that they use different methods of transmission. The analog radio gets its signals from the analog signals made to bounce in the upper atmosphere. While DAB radios send or broadcast directly from the transmission points in the same ways in which cell phones get their signals.

Once your Dab radio connects to a station, it soon compares the last time setting to the time signals of the station. This way it can automatically adjust its clock to synchronize with the station.

There are websites that monitor the DAB signal for each area. All they need is your postal code or ZIP code. They will give results on what stations or on what signal strength you’ll be getting from your area.

No, DAB is unlike cable television. You need not pay or subscribe to anything to have access to it. By having a DAB radio, you are now eligible to get the benefits of the DAB broadcasts. With DAB, you’ll get better sounding stations as long as you are receiving the right amount of signal. Since [...]

The reason is that the DAB signals are not as powerful as FM signals. You may even encounter a place where there is a clear FM signal while you might get garbled DAB signals or none at all. However, in most cases the DAB transmission is smoother thus enabling you to listen to broadcasts in [...]

DAB signals are digital signals while FM signal use the medium of radio waves. Radio waves can easily be distorted by incoming interference, and digital signals offer great resistance to interference. The only backside is that DAB is not that widespread yet. It means that there are some parts of the world where it is [...]
