advice thumbnail When comparing internet retailers, remember to include the cost of delivery in your calculations.
Retailers with low headline prices can often have higher delivery charges. Price comparison websites usually list the lowest headline price first, but the best deal may be lower down the list.

DAB+ thumbnail  advice thumbnail Only receivers known to receive DAB+ are listed on this page. There may be certain conditions that need to be fulfilled, for example following a firmware upgrade. The DAB+ capability may exist in certain countries only. We try to make that clear. The intention is that there should be no links on this page to suppliers of non-DAB+ versions, because this is a page of DAB+ receivers. Manufacturers, you have a role to play here in making it absolutely clear, on your websites and in your documentation, whether a receiver is DAB+ or not. If you make a DAB+ receiver and it isn't here, or there is no link for your receiver for a particular country that may be because your website and your documentation, or the website of the seller, doesn't say it's DAB+. Please send updates or corrections. Suggestion:- Why not make your receivers the same everywhere?

DAB+ thumbnail  advice thumbnail Some of the receivers on this page (the ones so marked) will also receiver the system selected as the official standard for France. It has far too many names! DMB, DMB-Radio, DMB-R, DMB-A and DMB-Audio are some of the technical ones. France refers to its digital radio services, collectively as Radio Numerique Terrestre, but that alone doesn't explicitly define a technical standard. If France chose to use DAB+, then RNT would apply equally to those broadcasts. From a consumer's point of view, what the letters RNT tell us is that if a retailer describes a receiver as being suitable to receive RNT, then that MUST include DMB-A, since that is currently the only standard officially permitted (test transmissions excepted). Pure have advised Wohnort that DMB-A capable versions of their receivers are sold only in France. Be aware that certain French websites such as amazon.fr source their radios from the UK. This is especially true of some of amazon.fr's third-party vendors. The affected products will generally be described as "Import Royaume-Uni", but the buyer should be alert in any case. One last thing, just when you thought you'd finally gotten your head around all those abbreviations, and were now happy that the little DMB receiver you had spotted in Korea would be OK to take back with you to France. It won't. DMB Radio uses the AAC codec. In Korea, their DMB services use BSAC. Caveat emptor! I hope the guidance on these pages will be useful to you.

Noxon

Muxx Inspektor
A useful little utility for the Noxon DAB+ USB stick has appeared, permitting closer examination of the structure of a multiplex and extraction of technical data about the services. The application reads the ".dat" files created by the stick's own software.
Version 1.1.0 is available for free download from the software's Home Page. As a natural corollary to the software, a collection of data files for examination with the Muxx Inspektor, has been compiled.
