Andru Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 I have searched with no luck so far. A few of the DAB radio stations are changing frequency and the radio needs a complete reset/rescan to find all the new frequencies. How is this done in the ford Sync system?

JSMarsden Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 What do you mean by they're switching? I have it on my radio so that if I lose DAB signal (about 5/6 spots on my way home) it changes to the FM equivalent so you hear it overlap/a slight jump in the playback. Or do you mean your DAB is jumping regions/stations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryNLD Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Does this change of frequency means that England has DAB+ now? I'm asking because I visit England 4/5 times a year, and I've noticed a huge difference between the Dutch DAB+ network and the UK's DAB network. I would be great if the UK has the new DAB+ with better reception right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JSMarsden Posted March 8, 2016 Share Posted March 8, 2016 I may need to rescan mine! Doesn't help with a small richmond aerial on the car but to be fair it does get a decent signal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No DAB + is a totally new codec which gives better sound quality. What has happened recently is more frequencies that were used for analogue TV have been reassigned for DAB so there are now more frequencies available, this allows for more channels to be opened up. However its still the same old DAB no change in quality. DAB + is not backwards compatible so current radios wouldn't work with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you mean your DAB is jumping regions/stations? I didn't say they were switching, Dab stations are actually changing frequencies with new channels coming along. I have had to do a full rescan on my Pure DAB radio in the house to get all the new channels and change frequencies of the ones that are in transition of changing. EG, if you look at Planet Rock before the rescan you will see zPlanetrock after a rescan you will see TWO Planet rock channels. The old one, zPlanetRock will dissapear in the next few weeks when it is switched off. I'll have a go with the scan button and see how it goes, cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't seem to have a 'scan' button on mine. I have the Sony system in my car, is it in the menu system somewhere? On the Sony system how do I actually rescan for all the new frequencies and new channels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
