propw4sh Posted January 23, 2012 Share Posted January 23, 2012 I can't find anything in the manual about DAB service on the radio (61 plate new-shape Focus Zetec). I have found and enabled the DAB service through the menu and I get the DAB Symbols and can receive DAB info on the stations. My question is about search and tuning: If I search when in DAB mode it skips through the FM frequencies as normal. Surely there must be a menu list of digital stations instead of tuning? Or is that not how this DAB works? Thanks for any advice - I'm a DAB newbie!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomo2001 Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Don't select the 'DAB link' option as this will switch between DAB and FM when the signal/coverage fluctuates. This gives more annoying drop outs then when you lose the digital signal alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cuke Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Hi, must as mine never goes to FM, although I rarely drive out of town these days. Went to Tun Wells the other day though and it held onto the station fine. Is DAB actually running at full strength because I thought it wasn't and maybe the signal varies from transmitter to transmitter, the same as digital TV?
