STATION ORDER
Use “Station Order” to sort the sequence of the listed stations. There are
three orders – Alphanumeric, Ensemble and Active.

ALPHANUMERIC
This is the default setting. Stations are arranged by numbers first and then
alphabetically by letters.
ENSEMBLE
Digital radio is broadcast as groups of data called ensemble. Each ensemble
contains a number of stations, transmitted at a set frequency. When
“Ensemble” is selected as the mode of station order, the radio stations are
arranged in the order of their ensemble names.
NOTE
Ensemble is also interchangeably termed as “multiplex” by other
broadcast providers.
ACTIVE
Active stations are listed at the top of the channel list. Those channels
that are in list but have no service in the area will be displayed last in the
channel list.
DRC
The level of compression of stations can be set to eliminate the differences
in dynamic range or sound level between radio stations. Popular music
would normally be more compressed than classical music, resulting in
possible different audio levels when changing from one station to the
other. Setting the DRC to “0” means no compression, “1/2” indicates medium
compression and “1” shows maximum compression. No compression is
recommended, especially for classical music.
