DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES

The C445 Tuner is equipped with DAB (Digital Audio Broadcast) and RDS (Radio Data System), bringing a wide range of information to radio listeners.
Until now, analogue radio signals such as FM or AM have been subject to numerous kinds of interference on their way from the transmitter to your
radio. These problems were caused by mountains, high-rise buildings and weather conditions.
With DAB, you can now receive CD-like quality radio programs without any annoying interference and signal distortion.
Now in use in many countries, RDS is a system for transmitting station identification, a description of the station's program type, indication of national,
regional or local programs and the correct time. RDS also allows you to search for favourite programme types. A DOT-matrix display brings all this
information to you with high visibility. As more FM stations become equipped with RDS capabilities, the C445 will serve as an easy-to-use centre for
both information and entertainment.
