Default Does a DAB radio track stations as you move?

for possibly wrong group but its a DIY project to build it into the

Digital transmissions are on the same frequency throughout the country.
Unlike analogue where this would cause problems with cancellation etc it's
actually a benefit because in weak signal areas the two add.

I'm not sure how well it actually works in a poor signal area, though.
Receivers seem to make the most alarming noises when they lose signal -
rather worse than FM.
