Hi Ian
The 'Prune Stations' option might be a useful one to activate because it
removes stations from the station list that the radio can't actually get a
signal for. Sometimes when you do an autotune it stores the names of stations
from multiplexes for which the signal is strong enough for the radio to receive
the station data, but not the actual audio. Doing a 'prune' gets rid of all
that and leaves you with just the real stuff!
Hope this is of some use.
James

Hi Andy,
Can[t answer your coverage question. However, if you press the top button to
the right of the joystick navigator, that brings up the menu options. Selected
is station order and if you press the joystick to enter this you're in a sub
menu of options on how stations are displayed. The default is alpha
numerically so there is no need to worry about multiplexes. pressing the
joystick to the right will cycle you through the menu options which are Prune
stations (whatever that is), active stations and fav stations. Basically this
changes the order in which the stations appear as you zip up and down the list.
Next if you press the menu key again and then move the joystick to the right,
the next menu option appears. this is Manual Tune. I've never used this so
don't know what it does. Finally, press the menu button again and move the
joystick to the right twice and your on Autotune. If you press the joystick in
to select this option it automatically scans the DAB frequencies in your area
and stores the stations. It shouldn't take longer than about twenty seconds.
To be honest, it might be useful if it's at all possible to get a pair of eyes
with you on the job here.
Hope this helps.
Cheers now.
Ian

Subject: [access-uk] DAB stations and the MOSDR001 radio
Hi all -
I'm using the Ministry Of Sound DR011 DAB radio here in Devon. I've only
had
it 2 days, and so far, have thanks to Ian Macrae's feedback on this model,
been able to select and store 10 stations! The only problem I'm having is,
that I can't seem to find Classic FM, Talk Sport, Virgin and One Word; I
don't know if that's because these stations aren't available on DAB, or if
it's because of where I live, DAB is only recently available here, so I
don't know how much access we have to whatever multiplexes there are! or if
it's because I'm not using the MOSDR011 correctly! Although I can access
about 15 stations, I don't know what the menus do, I did think they might
move me between multiplexes, but this doesn't seem to be the case! Pressing
the menu button different numbers of times, and trying again to go through
the stations, doesn't bring up any new ones, and seems a bit confusing.
I'd appreciate some help here then from anybody that might know if I aught
to be able to received these stations where I live, or with some
explanation
of the menu system on this particular DAB radio.
Andy
