I bought one of these last year. It tuned in fine at my house then refused to pick up any channels at the lake (despite my old Pure One MI never having a problem there). Got it home again and it had lost all the channels and wouldn't re-tune. My friend has the same one and had simlar happen. Sent mine back to Amazon in the end, not fit for purpose.

Have a look at the range of dab radios by AZATOM. They do a full range of different radios depending on what you want at really good prices. I have a couple of their dab radios in my house and also a portable one for fishing. They have newer models now since i got mine so worth checking out their range to find what suits you best. You will not be dissapointed. You can biy direct or through amazon

I would not buy some of the old radio suggestions in this thread !

purely because lots of the radio stations now only transmit on DAB+

so things like pure move wont get any of them so for me not worth bothering with at all

I have now got a Roberts Play its got a very good tuner

my model is an early one its kinda rechargeable as you can use normal AA batteries OR rechargeable Nihi that the radio has the ability with its mains adapter to charge them roberts bought out a new one every year the Play then a Play 10 then a Play20
MOSTLY COSMETIC changes so the original or early ones can be picked up cheap on ebay etc

Pure move for me if you can find a 2nd hand one, get the one with the black buttons not the silver ones.

I guess it depends what you listen too?
I'm perfectly fine with my old move for talksport, 5live or Kisstory.

YES your right it does
but most of the ones I listen too are ONLY on DAB + in my car at home and on the bank as all my radios are DAB +
I gave away my Pure move as I wanted all the stations not half of them

There are additionally over a hundred local and small-scale DAB stations broadcasting in DAB+.
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
