All radio services in Switzerland are transmitted using DAB+. A handful of services are broadcast in parallel using "original-flavour" DAB and these will cease in 2015. Wohnort recommends that you buy a receiver that is DAB+ capable if you intend to use it in this country. If you wish to receive programmes from neighbouring countries, you may wish to ensure that it will also receive DMB Radio.
