Pure Move is still king of the DAB radio battery life

ALL my favourite stations are only on DAB +

so my Pure Move is redundant !!!!

and I wouldnt advise anyone to buy a DAB radio unless its DAB+

I'd be wary of that August one personally.

I have a friend with one and it works fine so I bought one myself.

My one refuses to tune properly and when I run a scan at my house it only picks up a couple of DAB stations. If you move the radio even slightly they cut out.

I've tested mine at locations I know my friends one works, inculding at the lake and nothing. It's going back to Amazon this week for a refund.

The best one I've had (and still own) is a Pure One MI. Only looking to replace it as it's not DAB+ and it's battered now. It still gets through a weekend on one charge though.

Pure move is ancient and as said its dab only. The silly prices on eBay are not justified technology has moved on,I still have mine (since 2006) it's ok for radio 5 live and talksport which is good for me

If you want something small have a look at the goodmans pocket radio.

If you want compact I've been using one of these (for river fishing)

Goodmans Pocket DAB

Sound is not expansive as the speaker is v small but fine if you like to listen to 'conversation' rather than banging techno whilst fishing. A bit fiddly to set up initially but once you've got your presets in place its a great little USB rechargeable radio that takes up zero space

Quote.... My pure move has finally bitten the dust gutted.

There is a pinhole next to the headphone socket, originally it said ‘reset' but on most old Pure Move radios the writing has been rubbed off. Put a pin in that hole and hold it in. This resets them and solves virtually all problems of the radios not working, from charging problems to not being able to switch it on.

Try resetting your Pure Move you will likely find it works again.

See if you can update the firmware as well. Just Google how to do it.

Ive been using a roberts play 20 for about a year and its excellent, much better reception and sound quality than my pure move.

The August is more modern and gives you actual info on the screen as opposed to just a number on the other one, sound is probably better quality too. The second one offers much more versatility with the sd card slot, usb slot and Bluetooth speaker, what swung it for me was the changeable 18650 battery, as because I've been vaping for over 10 years I have loads of them knocking around. I only got the August as I was having problems getting Radio X (which is all I listen to) however reception is about the same on the August and other radios I've tried.
