DRM30 is the original specification for DRM, working up to 30 MHz. DRM+ was developed to work at higher frequencies, including Band II, the current FM band, and Band III, formerly used for television and increasingly being used for DAB. Receivers are still hard to find. No consumer receivers for DRM+ were yet known to exist at the end of 2010.
