Anything decent out there? The two ive found up to now are a little sony one and a roberts play. The pure one looks a bit high tech and is touch screen by the look of it.

Roberts are good quality, been using one for years... I believe you can get one now which you
can use a sd card in too now and also bluetooth from your mobile..

Have you thought about a Bluetooth speaker instead? I have a Bluetooth speaker that i have used for work for years now. it was about £20, its been dropped, banged, covered in dust and it just keeps singing its little heart out.
I just stream the radio/spotify etc etc through my phone.
Obviously if you want better sound quality theres better makes and models out there but definitely worth considering

Can recommend a Sony XDR-S41D. Sound quality and reception for the price paid (£40 odd quid) has been impressive so far.
Edit. Battery life on first use was working out around 22 hours on a pack of kodak xtralife batteries. Could well be up to about 26 hours so far on a set of eneloop pro rechargeables.

Dab radio requirements to make a good fishing radio:
Amazing battery life.
Compact with no big buttons to break off.
Built in rechargeable battery.
Good sound quality.
SD card slot.
Not mega expensive.
I have the original Pure Move and this is the standard to judge all others by.
Before this i had the carp anglers standard issue Sony am/fm, super compact and what an amazing radio.

What sort of battery life are you guys getting on these. I looked a few years ago and it wasn't great so stuck with my little FM,/AM Sony.
Has technology improved these?

Agreed. I bought a dab radio roughly 6 years ago and the battery life was shocking!! Think I barely got 8 hours with something like 6 AA batteries! Went back to Roberts analog radio and the batteries last forever!
Personally, unless things have dramatically changed, I would personally stick to the most basic radio you can find for fishing as generally they are the ones with the longest battery life

ive got the Sony XDR-P1 Portable DAB/DAB+/FM Digital Radio
,ive had it a few years now
i use it for fishing and work,
you get roughly 10/12 hours solid use, sometimes more depending on use,
a couple of hours a day, it will last a good couple of days, and thats from experience,
nice and compacted, lovely little radio. its about £60/£65
and on the lake, i just charge it up with a pocket powerpack
