DAB Digital radio stations are broadcast in multiplex. Each multiplex
is a bundle of radio stations transmitted in a single frequency. These
are national and local multiplex; local ones contain stations specific
to your area. This option displays the name of the multiplex that
contains the station you are listening to.
Displays the frequency that contains the station you are listening to.
Displays audio type and bit rate. DAB allows broadcasters to vary the
bit rate 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 a
good sound quality.
Time and date are updated by broadcasted information.
