hi andy, to answer your bbc 7 question, unfortunately that's how it's supposed to be!! something to do with limited bandwidth. it's really frustrating to be forced to listen to drama's etc in mono!! kevin - co-owner/moderator of the blind gamers discussion list. email/msn: kream@xxxxxxxxxxxx ----- Original Message ----- From: Andy Collins To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Sunday, January 23, 2005 11:29 AM Subject: [access-uk] Re: DAB stations and the MOSDR001 radio Hi Ian and James - Thanks for this help; I went to that website James and entered my post code, and it brought up a full list of all the stations I should be able to receive, and One Word, Virgin, Classic FM and Talk Sport were included, but so far, no luck in receiving them! One other thing for now, I've noticed that when listening to BBC 7 on-line, the reception is in stereo, but when listening on DAB, it is in mono, is this how it's meant to be? Shouldn't the DAB signal be stereo too?

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.

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.

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.
