Broadcasters in Switzerland have already begun using DAB+ and have set a clear timetable by which existing DAB transmissions will convert to DAB+. 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.

Future Plans
The Swiss public-service broadcaster SRG/SSR has published a provisional timetable for the introduction of third-layer regional ensembles in the German-speaking part of the country:-

2012: Zürich-Aargau-Schaffhausen
possibly 2012: Zentralschweiz
2013: Bern-dt. Freiburg-Wallis
2013: Basel-Aargau-Solothurn
2013/4: Ostschweiz
2013/4: Graubünden

Pan-European
Pure Move 2500

NOW IN STOCK at online retailers such as Brack, a new pocket DAB receiver from Pure that will work anywhere in Europe. The tech specs promise support for DAB, DAB+ and DMB-A in both Band III and L-band. This model also marks the debut of the latest Pure chargePAK device. Enter the M1 - a lithium ion device offering 1000mAh, which amounts to about 14 hours of DAB listening. Unusually, this chargePAK is supplied with the receiver. The fact that it's removable is especially welcome as it makes it easy to replace when it becomes worn out, but can also be removed in the unlikely event you're not going to use the radio for a while. There's also an external power adaptor to permit operation from an AC supply.
