DAB help

Post by bobbyRS » Sun Mar 06, 2016 9:26 am

Appreciate any help please.
I can't figure how to retune the DAB.
I listen to absolute 80s- now saying its 'old' and to retune the radio.
Can't find anything in menus or handbook
Thanks. Bob

1. Press the Radio button until you're in DAB mode.
2. Select 'Functions' (bottom left)
3. Select 'scan' to go through each individual station automatically, or manually seek up and down using the buttons before the scan button.

Once you've found the radio piss & slippers station you desire, you should be able to then store it. :beerchug:

Should auto tune. I think DAB is borked this morning.

Auto tune will happen at start up, DAB stations will eventually be updated automatically. On the A4 there is no rescan option.

A1 and A3 has an option at the end of the station list to update the list.

Just been out in the RS and lots of stations in the London DAB group have disappeared or are showing with a small z in-front of the name. I tried to rescan, but it didn't change anything.

So it looks like DAB in geneal is currently up the shitter.

Small x or small z?

What did you do to rescan as the RS4 does have the rescan feature?

Hi
I had the very same problem this week

if you open the radio and will see Absolute 80s old, scan down until you get to SDL NATIONAL and open that menu

you will find absolute 80s new in that section.


hope this helps.

It's good to hear that I'm not the only one that listens almost exclusively to Absolute 80's (and Talk sport)
