I have a question about how Single-Frequency Networks operate, relating to DAB reception. If you live in an area covered by two or more DAB transmitters, do the signals 'augment' each other?

Visiting Dorset recently, for FM reception, I was on the edge of coverage from Rowridge, Wenvoe and North Hessary Tor.

The DAB reception was good and solid. Obviously, with FM you have to tune to a specific transmitter, and you may be faced with a choice of three or more equally-poor choices.

If the example is applied to DAB reception, do the three or more 'weak' signals complement each other? Or doesn't it make any difference?

Many thanks
