Had mine since 2003, battery still brilliant and still have the original aerial. Would be good if i could update the firmware but cant remember how to do that.

The radio I am replacing, is also one of the very first Pure Move 400D that came out. Mine is pretty battered, but still works absolutely fine. I still have the original Ariel on mine. Incredible seeing as it's been knocking around in my bag for donkeys years.
It did stop working once... But a pin in the reset compartment sorted that out and it's never missed a beat since.
This Azatom is in an entirely different league though. There is no comparison. It has a small subwoofer. The sound is absolutely incredible for a small radio. I have spent a lot of money on good quality sound in my home... I'm shocked they can now produce such good quality in a portable radio for just £50.

. . .I got this little bad boy this season
Maxesla DAB
Compact, very lightweight, excellent reception and rechargeable via USB - bargain for under £25. Only downside is capacity and will need charging after 12hrs of constant use however it does this quickly and the drain from a power pack is unnoticeable . . .
Don't really listen to music whilst fishing (mainly Radio 4 / Talksport etc) however even that sounds better than my previous battered analogue radio . . .you can also bluetooth tunes from your phone if you want to go all Derick the Don Ritchie etc . . .

The Blackfriars look quite funky and has a subwoofer.

I got the Spitafields. Link is in post 1. Comes with a remote control & 3 years warranty from UK company too. 1m mini usb charger lead, and you actually get a three pin USB plug, like the Apple plugs as well. The Blackfriars is exactly the same radio, but different outer design with wood instead of leather sides. Costs a fiver more.
Worth more, incredible value for £50 delivered IMO.

I have my old faithful roberts sports long wave medium and fm in my fishing bag when I go fishing it goes under my bed on radio 4 all night on very very low volume I can only just hear it but the rats can hear it very well and I have never ever had one come in the bivvy since adopting this method batteries last for months
I did try just a sensor light but they ignored that ( in case your wondering how I would know if I was asleep I have a couple of trail cameras )
I use the Roberts Play now when fishing as some stations have moved to DAB+
here is my original Pure Move
i also bought a Sony thats good too but heavy so its the kitchen radio now and the pure move is the bathroom radio used every day when I sht shower and shave

I do use a my Pure Move a lot but just recently i purchased a Sony srs-xb13 portable bluetooth speaker. Normally £55 but most places are now doing them for £39. Uses Sony's Extra Bass technology so it does pack quite a punch. So i can pair it up with my iPhone if i want to listen to my iTunes and also with the Iphones Radios app.
I find French fm radio is dire.
What's DAB like, is there any rock music stations?

I have the original Pure Move and that lasted many years but doesnt hold charge for as long .... Added the 400D verson which is still brilliant and still have the Roberts Sports radio FM/AM which is bomb proof in an emergency ... Failing that i would just use my phone. The last place i worry about sound quality of music is when im fishing

DAB no DAB + yes your radio will work if it supports the latter
Though the technology is terrestrial so you won't pick up any UK stations.
With AM you'll pick up a few UK stations depending where you are .
Only way is ip based radio (over the internet)
