 Wohnort's symbol for DAB+  Wohnort's symbol for Band III DAB+ is now widespread in the UK. Both of the commercial national ensembles have some DAB+ services on board. In addition, there are services broadcasting on most of the small-scale trial ensembles. DAB+ is gradually spreading to the established local ensembles. It is true to say that for most of the population, if you don't have a DAB+ receiver, you are missing out on services. A "tick mark" has been launched as a marketing tool to signify receivers that meet a certain minimum specification. DAB+ capability is expected to be one of the requirements for the tick mark. Wohnort recommends, now more than ever, that you should consider buying a receiver that is DAB+ capable.

The unlabelled "ghost" service with SId 00C0 has persisted for several years. Recorded by multiple correspondents in multiple locations on multiple occasions, this is likely an "orphaned" entry in FIG 0/17. This is probably the UK's, if not the world's, longest-running suspected mis-configuration.

The following ensembles also cover all or parts of this transmission area:-


Tuning to Block 10B
The frequency allocated to Derbyshire lies outside the range of the seven blocks used during the initial UK DAB roll-out. Some older radios may not include Block 10B in their automatic scans. In this case, select the option "Full Scan" in the receiver's menus. This may also be called a "Rest of the World" scan, as opposed to a "UK" scan. A small number of early DAB receivers, including some Goodmans models, are unable to receive the new frequencies at all.

Tuning to Block 10C
The new frequency allocated to Liverpool lies outside the range of the seven blocks used during the initial UK DAB roll-out. Some older radios may not include Block 10C in their automatic scans. In this case, select the option "Full Scan" in the receiver's menus. This may also be called a "Rest of the World" scan, as opposed to a "UK" scan. A small number of early DAB receivers, including some Goodmans models, are unable to receive the new frequencies at all.

The following ensembles also cover all or parts of this transmission area:-


Tuning to Block 10D
One of the frequencies allocated to North West Wales lies outside the range of the seven blocks used during the initial UK DAB roll-out. Some older radios may not include Block 10D in their automatic scans. In this case, select the option "Full Scan" in the receiver's menus. This may also be called a "Rest of the World" scan, as opposed to a "UK" scan. A small number of early DAB receivers, including some Goodmans models, are unable to receive the new frequencies at all.

The following ensembles also cover all or parts of this transmission area:-


Tuning to Block 10B
The frequency allocated to Somerset lies outside the range of the seven blocks used during the initial UK DAB roll-out. Some older radios may not include Block 10B in their automatic scans. In this case, select the option "Full Scan" in the receiver's menus. This may also be called a "Rest of the World" scan, as opposed to a "UK" scan. A small number of early DAB receivers, including some Goodmans models, are unable to receive the new frequencies at all.

Tuning to Block 10D
The frequency allocated to West Wiltshire lies outside the range of the seven blocks used during the initial UK DAB roll-out. Some older radios may not include Block 10D in their automatic scans. In this case, select the option "Full Scan" in the receiver's menus. This may also be called a "Rest of the World" scan, as opposed to a "UK" scan. A small number of early DAB receivers, including some Goodmans models, are unable to receive the new frequencies at all.

Small-Scale Trials


 
A low-power trial was run in Brighton during the Autumn of 2012 that demonstrated the feasibility of using software-defined solutions for coding and multiplexing. Ofcom awarded licences for further trials in 10 areas that have been operational since 2015. Since then, permanent licences have been advertised and a number of these have already been launched. As the successor licences come on air, these trials are progressively shutting down.

The following ensembles also cover all or parts of this transmission area:-


Tuning to Block 8A
The frequency allocated to the Aldershot trial lies outside the range of the seven blocks used during the initial UK DAB roll-out. Some older radios may not include Block 8A in their automatic scans. In this case, select the option "Full Scan" in the receiver's menus. This may also be called a "Rest of the World" scan, as opposed to a "UK" scan. A small number of early DAB receivers, including some Goodmans models, are unable to receive the new frequencies at all.

The following ensembles also cover all or parts of this transmission area:-


Tuning to Block 9A
The frequency allocated to the Brighton trial lies outside the range of the seven blocks used during the initial UK DAB roll-out. Some older radios may not include Block 9A in their automatic scans. In this case, select the option "Full Scan" in the receiver's menus. This may also be called a "Rest of the World" scan, as opposed to a "UK" scan. A small number of early DAB receivers, including some Goodmans models, are unable to receive the new frequencies at all.

Tuning to Block 9A
The frequency allocated to this ensemble lies outside the range of the seven blocks used during the initial UK DAB roll-out. Some older radios may not include Block 9A in their automatic scans. In this case, select the option "Full Scan" in the receiver's menus. This may also be called a "Rest of the World" scan, as opposed to a "UK" scan. A small number of early DAB receivers, including some Goodmans models, are unable to receive the new frequencies at all.

Tuning to Block 9C
The frequency allocated to Cambridge lies outside the range of the seven blocks used during the initial UK DAB roll-out. Some older radios may not include Block 9C in their automatic scans. In this case, select the option "Full Scan" in the receiver's menus. This may also be called a "Rest of the World" scan, as opposed to a "UK" scan. A small number of early DAB receivers, including some Goodmans models, are unable to receive the new frequencies at all.
