 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 following ensembles also have national or quasi-national coverage:-

BBC D1 National

Tuning to Block 11A
The frequency allocated to the second national commercial multiplex lies outside the range of the seven blocks used during the initial UK DAB roll-out. Some older radios may not include Block 11A 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.


 

National 2

 DAB+ thumbnail  Band III
Block 11A: 216.928 MHz
Allotments:
G__60004 England II
G__60032 Isle of Man II
G__60022 Northern Ireland II
G__60012 Scotland II
G__60005 Wales II

 The ensemble is intended to cover the whole of the UK, plus the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands, subject to international co-ordination. Block 11A is allocated (although not currently in use) for ensembles in Normandy and on the Belgian coast. This will impact upon the coverage achievable in East Anglia, in Kent and along the southern coast of the UK. There is currently no allotment for the Channel Islands.
