What is a DAB Block?
A DAB block (e.g., 11D) refers to a specific frequency band on the electromagnetic spectrum that a digital radio multiplex uses to transmit its signals. Each block represents a distinct frequency, allowing multiple digital radio services to be broadcast simultaneously without interference. Radios are designed to scan these blocks to find available multiplexes and the stations within them.
Listeners typically don't need to know the specific block number to tune in, as most modern DAB radios allow searching by station name. However, understanding that stations are grouped into blocks and multiplexes like Digital One provides insight into how digital radio services are structured and broadcast. You can find more specific information about the station on its RadioDNS.uk page.
