Reception area

EFR's three transmitters, each with a range of 500 kilometres, give reliable coverage over a large part of Central Europe.

EFR's three fixed transmitter stations are located at Mainflingen near Frankfurt am Main, at Burg near Magdeburg and close to the Hungarian capital Budapest. They transmit the signals via long-wave, using frequencies reserved exclusively throughout Europe for radio ripple control.

Long-wave transmission guarantees very wide coverage, and gives reliable usage of EFR's signals across a radius of about 500 kilometres. Its radio waves penetrate deep into the earth and provide good reception even in low-lying valleys or basements.
