Scanning for stations
The first time you select DAB radio mode, or if the station list is
empty, ICD2023 automatically performs a full scan to see what
stations are available. You may also need to start a scan
manually to update the list of stations for one of the following
reasons:
•
Available stations change from time to time.
•
If reception was not good for the original scan, this may
result in an empty or incomplete list of available stations.
•
If you have poor reception of some stations (burbling), you
may wish to list only stations with good signal strength.
To start a scan manually, choose Full scan. To scan only stations with good signal strength,
select Local scan.
Once the scan is complete, the radio shows a list of available stations.
To remove stations that are listed but not unavailable, choose Prune invalid.
Press the "BACK" button to view a list of stations and press "OK" to select. Once selected, the
station plays and the screen shows information about station, track or show as broadcast.

Presets storing and recall
Storing and recall of DAB stations to preset is same functionality as described in the internet
radio section.
Now playing information
While the stream is playing, the screen shows its name and DLS (Dynamic Label Segment)
information broadcast by the station giving real-time information such as program name,
track title and contact details. Stereo broadcasts are indicated with an icon at the bottom of
the screen. To view further information, press "INFO" button on the radio.
Each time you press "INFO" button on the radio, another set of information is displayed,
cycling through DLS text, program type, ensemble name/frequency, signal strength/error
rate, bite rate/codec/channels and today's date.

Settings
Dynamic range compression (DRC)
If you are listening to music with a high dynamic range in a noisy environment, you may
wish to compress the audio dynamic range. This makes quiet sounds louder, and loud
sounds quieter. You can change DRC as off, low or high.
