Do DAB radios work in Oz?

Hi

Anyone taken their DAB radios to Oz and do they have digital stations over there to tune into? Obviously the FM part of the radio will work but was just curious about the other.

I'm sure they do.

Hi Paul,

 

I moved out to WA last year and was wondering the same thing myself when I moved. There are trials of Digital Radio going on in Sydney at the moment and it will be rolled out nationwide later. I found this site that may be of help to you.... Digital Radio Australia: HOME.

 

FAQ on the site....' While government policy has created a permanent spot for digital radio in Australia, buyers need to exercise caution. The form of compression technology to be used will have implications for what kinds of receivers will work in the Australian market.'

 

Cheers,

Neal

If you do a search you will find a previous similar question - the answer IIRC was no because Australia are going for the latest DAB system which is incompatible with the one in the UK. Same goes for freeview (DVB-T).
