Not sure of the exact frequency range of our DAB+ band but I know you'll find it if you were to look between 130-300MHZ, it occupies some of the space used by our old Analogue TV signals. Ah, partly. But there are also aspects of DAB which use much higher frequencies over here. I didn't think such high frequency bands had the problems you explained but I'm sure you're right, all the DAB+ sets I have suffer from this problem to a degree but the Yamaha is by far the worst affected. No, you shouldn't get that problem at 100 MHZ plus. I thought you were using 1.6 MHZ as you used to use when you were testing DAB.. I believe you were going to adopt the American standard, but ultimately didn't. I'm sure you're right about the cut of the antenna too, the Yamaha Hi-Fi tuner I have has 3 antenna connections, 1 for DAB+, 1 for FM and 1 for AM which makes a great deal more sense but then again the Yamaha tuner on its own was worth more than the Yamaha systems were' talking about. Any self-respecting tuner should have an antenna for each band. I was utterly amazed when I discovered that the two receivers or two elements of the same receiver shared an antenna between the 2 bands or, should I say, 3 bands. The textual display isn't on the same band as the audio actually, and that's the bit which uses higher frequency bands. That, at least, is how it is over here. I'll have to check the exact specs because I'm a bit out of touch at the moment. But still, propagation over there is a factor since distance is important. As I understand it, the Yamaha sorts by numbers in a track name, I wasn't aware that the Yamaha even supported playlists, your model may do but I'm not sure mine does. No, it doesn't. But what I'm saying is that it handles filenames alphabetically, or by the time stamp on the file. Mine certainly doesn't support the syncing of an iPhone or iPod. That is the core function of my model. I used it last night and it was excellent.
