I'm on the lookout for a portable DAB Radio that I can pop in the rucksack for when I'm fishing, anyone got any experience and can recommend one?

Got a Roberts Play10 for £28 off ebay a few weeks ago. Spot on, and with 4 x 2000mAH rechargeable AA batteries, lasts a fair while also. Can't go wrong with a Roberts, got a few of them, they last for years and sound good.
EDIT - got mine from a seller in Winsford, notice he has another for sale, ebay item number 165561399021.

Still using a Pure move, battered, cracked lens, battery life has dropped a bit but sill going strong
Wouldn't hesitate to buy a pure again 10/10, passed a few hours listening to this little gem

personally I would make sure it was a DAB+ model
as there are more and more stations now transmitting only on the DAB PLUS
What is the difference between DAB and DAB+? DAB+ is an upgraded version of DAB digital radio that gives you access to even more stations. To receive DAB+ stations you must have a DAB+ enabled radio
EDIT EDIT I phoned a friend
he was telling me about his Dab+ radio that runs for 20 hours and better sound than his sons Roberts Play (that I have too) checkout the owners reviews its a
LINKY POO

I got one of these recently. Does a great job on my lake where phone signal is a challenge.
Only issue i have with it is it suffers with really bad interference if you try and charge it while its playing. Or charge anything in the vicinity of it. Not sure if its my anker power packs though or if it would do it with all power packs

I thought 8 hours play time on a rechargeable battery was pretty good to be honest

I've got that August one at the moment. I'm getting about 24 hours run time on a charge, I turn it off every time I leave the bivvy though. I don't get any interference when charging and using at the same time until I try and charge my phone anywhere near it.
I also have one of These which does everything, bluetooth speaker, sd card, usb stick dab and fm and most importantly, changeable 18650 size batteries.

And no interference even if its right next to the radio? Mine seems a distance thing, further away the better

No m8, until I plug my phone in. I have Anker and Ravpower banks too so I'll give them a go next time I'm out.

I just use my phone for DAB. obviously it needs to be connected to to a power bank but you'd do that anyway. Job done.
