I agree on the pure move I had one until the battery stopped working. At the time I didn't realise you could replace easily so I binned it ....! Still regret that.
I replaced it with a Roberts Sports Radio. This is a great little radio and a lot smaller than the pure move. Although the charge doesn't last as long I can charge it from
My power pack.

on the Pure Move the rubber on the back of mine has gone all sticky and peeling. I think I read a way of dealing with it one here once but I've forgotten so if anyone can remember

Pure move for me until I chucked it in my tool bag and knackered the screen up


It's now buried in the country side somewhere

Think it was about £70, money well spent though, doesn't seem to eat batteries either. For some reason I have to use the serial when it's plugged in to a power pack.

When my Sony DAB died, I bought one of the Atom Powerpacs DAB radios. £40 & has a rechargeable battery or can run off a powerpack via a mini USB cable. Only drawback is that the screen doesn't display any of the station info or names but for a basic DAB radio, it works as well as any others I have tried.

I nearly bought the atom one but after a quick search around ebay I got the same one for less than £20, had mine a while and it does everything I need and works great. (Bluetooth speaker, sd card, usb in, fm and dab radio)

Cheapest ive found is £67. Do they have a built in rechargeable battery or do they require batteries mate?

you can use rechargeable or normal there is a little switch inside the battery compartment for recharge or alkaline

if you use rechargeable the mains adaptor will also charge them
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
