DAB RADIO

[needawin]

Is Dab radio any good. Is it worth investing in one? I see reports that they are a flash in the pan and the broadcasts will not last. Any recommendations for a cheap one?

The clarity on them is superb, however they appear to have died a death, not used mine in 5 years, I just use the Radio Box app via my iPod now.

I have DAB in the car and the signal quality varies from day to day even on the same road. i spend a lot of time on the A4 and in the morning it can be clear then in the afternnon it's gone and vice versa.

DAB is like a muslim wedding. great service, cr@p reception.

LOL @ doctordb, not heard that expression before!

I have a Pure DMX-25 micro hifi (quite old now), a Pure Siesta radio/alam clock, a Pure PocketDAB1500 and a cheap Tevion from Aldi in the kitchen. I did use the Pure Highway in our last car and once I'd acquired an external antenna was happy with it.
None of them were very expensive and they all work fine.

Many thanks all. Now over to e-bay.
