Data services of some selected European DAB ensembles
Current release: July 13, 2004 Changes: Germany "DAB Baden-Wuert" ensemble update. In the list below we are focusing on the DAB data services. Our objective is to give interested people an idea how DAB data services can look like - and maybe also how they better should not look like :-) Technics enthusiasts will also find recordings of the "Fast Information Channel" (FIC) with each ensemble in the list. See the left menu "FIC decoder" for details. People who are primarily interested in DAB frequencies, audio bitrates, TII codes and services list completeness should visit Carey's list of DAB ensembles. Carey makes high efforts to keep his world-wide list up-to-date. How the list reads: |
