channel identifier and frequency for the station

DAB allows broadcasters to vary the BIT RATE
(or the amount by which an audio signal can be
compressed) depending on the type of broadcast. This
enables the amount of stations on a multiplex to be
maximised. Speech and News are often broadcast at a
lower Bit Rate; music needs a higher Bit Rate for good
fidelity.
This figure indicates the quality of
the signal being received. As a guide, 0-15 indicates
good reception, 16-30 borderline reception and 30 or
