what is dab radio mean Page 4

DAB radio stands for Digital Audio Broadcasting, a fancy way of saying your radio is getting tunes and talk in digital quality rather than the old, scratchy analogue mess. It offers clearer sound, more stations, and less static interference—a godsend if you’ve ever wrestled with a dodgy FM signal while stuck in traffic. In Australia, DAB+ is the standard, improving compression and sound quality over the original DAB. But don’t expect miracles in the outback; coverage is mostly great in major cities.
