One thing I did do that I would suggest anyone wit one of the Atom type radios does, is to keep a note on your phone of what stations correspond to the tuning number. That way you can quickly find the station you are looking for if you change what you listen to. I only listen to TalkRADIO, TalkSPORT1 & 2 or BBC Radio 5 so have them stored on the programmable buttons. I still have a small list of stations numbers (not going to hand it out as that's the fun of owning one!) on my Notes app, just in case.

Out of interest, is the Pure Move radios that are rated so well, this version:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000UYWKMC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Vr6yFb7EQ8KBW
I brought a Goodmans GDPRDAB, and could get zero signal on DAB or FM at the lake. In the house it's fine. The aerial is very small.
Has anyone been using the Robert's play for a while and got any feedback on how it performs at the lake, perhaps with thick trees/foliage?

YES thats the one but not available for a while now I also have the Roberts play its bigger and bit heavier on batteries but great reception power
the Pure move T4 is a smaller better size for fishing IMO

😬 I can get one (refurb), I just used Amazon as the example picture. It's a choice between a refurb original, in the Amazon link, that admittedly needs a new battery which i believe you can replace, or a refurb t4.
Just not sure which one to go with.

the old pure move is just DAB ( Digital Audio Broadcasting )......the new versions have DAB+ lots of stations switching over to it !!
DAB+ is more efficient than DAB, allowing more stations to be broadcast and in higher quality if desired by the broadcaster. A radio which can only receive DAB will not be able to receive DAB+ stations. However, DAB+ sets are 'backwards-compatible' and will receive both DAB and DAB+ stations
My advice would be DONT buy the old Pure Move
however the new Pure Move T4 is

My pure move is still going strong (since I purchased it in 2006, original batteries) broke the original telescopic aerial which I replaced from another old radio..
The brand name "pure" meant it commanded a premium price though many cheap variants were released as dab became more mainstream.
Not bad considering it was made in China - heaven forbid ! (designed at what was their HQ in Kings Langley UK)
T4 looks like a great replacement . Though I'm sure many cheaper options

the difference between the cheap DAB radios
a lot are not DAB+ So eventually wont be able to receive the stations that will switch over
and battery life !!!
not to mention needing a strong signal some cheap ones just eat battery's
the thing is with the market leaders Pure or Roberts you dont get any of these problems in this instance you really do get what you pay for IMO

We've bought 3 DAB radios for home so mains operated so not for fishing.
The first two were absolute ****, can't remember the name but they were binned, took them to various places in London and Kent and could never pick up a decent signal.
The third was a Which magazine Best Buy which was one of John Lewis's own branded radios and that works great.
No good for fishing but does prove the point you need to do your homework
