DAB radio query

[Christmas themed thank]

Hi all,

Just fitted a Pioneer F88DAB in my car and it's working well but I've got one query. I've got the DAB feature working but when I go to select a list of stations via "ensemble", it only lists BBC National DAB and so only has BBC stations.

If I go through the stations with the "seek" buttons (when listening to a BBC station), I can choose other non-BBC stations but why can't I get those in an ensemble as surely those must be in one too?

What antenna are you using?

I've got a Pioneer DAB stereo myself so I guess the UI is quite similar. I assume you've done a full channel scan there? I can't remember where the icon is exactly but when I drive to different parts of the country I often do a quick rescan if I feel like checking out some of the local DAB stuff.

Edit: Just looked. It's a big 'Update Stations' button at the top on my F960-DAB but it's a magnifying glass icon on my other car's X3600DAB.

i have a pioneer DAB head unit.

you basically have a band where there are 4-12 station. you can only be in 1 band at a time. so if i move from BBC band to something else it takes a few seconds to scan the new band and display the stations on it.

however i have another button bottom left which allows me to switch between 3 different bands immediately. so what i have done is found my top 3 dab stations and stored them on that.

Resolved, I hadn't amplified my antenna!

I have a new issue though. See new thread if you would be so kind.
