UNITY DAB

[ChazAnthony1982]

Seen this advertised and now picking up on DAB.

quality bitrate is low and they on Trial London

Apparently Philgood and Ram are involved?

Recon this will fuck Centreforce Up tbh

[g33ky]

The second you get out of Central London the Trial signal drops dead, won't be good for much imo.

[Undercover Neckz]

What frequency is it on I will try it on my nans DAB radio in the shed.
I have been trying to get Centreforce but I can't work out how to make her DAB radio go on 88.3.

[mpx]

I think you need some sort of converter to get it down to 88.3

Unity is on 202.92MHz

Doesn't sound quite right on the jingles, maybe they should call it Unity 203

[sparkypaul]

Wtf

[peterogerspirate]

hard to find on any streaming sites and via google get a load of stns in manchester

[teckniqs]

Unity is 88.4 I think it's ran by Mark Ruff Ryder.

...So yeah it's a bit close to Centreforce 88.3.

If you mean the Trial London multiplex then it's on channel 9A aka 202.928MHz, but I rarely get good reception of this when I'm in the city except for central.

Centreforce is on London 2 which is on channel 12A aka 223.936MHz. It's using DAB+ though so if the radio is quite old it probably doesn't support it.

I have refreshed my DAB list multiple times and cannot get unity.
Does anyone know why?

It's on Trial London try scanning channel 9A manually, but apparently it has no audio stream yet so it might not show up. Like I've said before tho Trial London has crap coverage.

Unity is on 92.8 in Manchester and also on DAB, I can just about pick 92.8 up here in Rawtenstall.

Been told it's DAB+ so if your radio is just DAB it won't receive it. I have never and will never have any interest at all in DAB radio, but someone I know read this post and mentioned it to me.

Nothing wrong with DAB mate.
Its a platform where you can get on easily (if you've got enough cash) and do your thing.
No restricted as much like getting an FM licence.
There's plenty of good stations playing exclusively house soul funk.
In fact a lot of ex pirates have chosen thatvroute

Thats a different Unity, an old ex-pirate now licensed as a community station. Decent enough station. Theres also the muslim Unity in Birmingham on 93.5 for which I'd rather listen to my cat throwing up .

Fair enough if you are into that sort of thing, they might be handing out these DAB licences like sweets at the moment but it will never appeal to myself.
My main concern is the signal being digital at a very widespread bandwidth meaning it needs a lot more power to achieve a decent signal and not to mention the fact it's up on Band III (220MHz) so again needs yet even more power for a decent signal.
....FM licences don't appeal to me either, but each to our own, and what ever doesn't float my boat. (Pirate for Life)
In fact one of my old pals is actually involved in running this Unity DAB thing, but it's on DAB so it's just not for me.

And 101.1 Southampton.

It's still got another 2 days before the launch, I am in Hammersmith not too far from central london but I can't pick it up on our dab radio I wonder if they will have more powerful transmitters or if it just staying on very low power

[sparkypaul]

You should be able to get in Hammersmith.
Its not about how much power they've got.
Dab stations power is provided by others.
You have to pay a service provider to transmit your station for you.
All stations on the same central London trial platform will be at the same power. That one doesn't get out very fat by the way.
If you can get stations like rinse you'll be able to get unity.
You'll have to re scan on the day and they'll appear in the list
