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.

Tuning to Block 10C
The frequency allocated to Suffolk 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.

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:-
