BIT RATE: DAB allows broadcasters to vary the BIT RATE (or
the amount by which an audio signal can be compressed)

of stations on a multiplex to be maximised. Speech and News
are often broadcast at a lower Bit Rate; music needs a higher
Bit Rate for good delity.
SIGNAL ERROR RATE: This Signal Error Rate is a measure of
the signal quality. The lower the gure, the better the signal
quality. The Signal Error Rate display is helpful when setting
up the aerial wire. Move the wire to minimise the readiong
on your favourite stations.
