Customer Reviews
On this page you should be able to look for suppliers of the various types of portable DAB radio in different sizes and of various colours with such a wide choice of manufacturer. Portable DAB radios will help keep you occupied while you are on your travels as you can listen to music programs, get the latest sports results, keep up to date with the news, or just listen to its mp3 player before you get home. You will always be in touch and nearly all the UK gets good reception.
DAB Radio can operate in any weather conditions so it doesn’t matter whether it is snowing, raining, sunny or whatever you’ll always get a crystal clear reception without the hiss, crackle and fading found in analogue radios. This is because the digital signal is produced from land based technology instead of satellite as in television. As there are now a lot of transmitters you should always be near to one.
These DAB radios today are lightweight and compact so that you are able to carry them around easily but they are also stylish enough to keep on any surface inside your home. If you put them upright you can easily see what program you are listening to by looking at the large LCD screen. Also there are lots more channels than are available on an ordinary radio.
Setting up stations is not a problem usually they do it automatically. You do not have to twiddle with dials to find a good signal, once it finds a station that’s it. It is also lots simpler to ensure that you’re tuned into the right channel as they are sorted by name rather than frequency number so a name will appear rather than a number and the display often shows details on the title and artist if you are on a music channel.
To turn a portable DAB radio into a personal one you’ll find a jack socket to plug an ear piecein. This means that you can listen in comfort whereever you are and not be a nuisance to anyone else near you.
The leading manufactures of radios all make out DAB versions but leading the way seem to be Roberts, PURE and Sony. Let’s take a look at a few of the popular ones.
One of the most popular is the PURE One DAB FM portable radio black which, today, can be bought for under 50 pounds and its spec is excellent. The award winning PURE ONE Classic is a FM and DAB radio that looks great, sounds great and is incredibly easy to use. There is even a cooking timer to help you in the kitchen.
You can use it for up to 40 hours without changing the battery, thus reducing the amount you have to pay and to the environment. If you prefer 6 standard C size normal batteries will give you as much as 80 hours of listening time.
It seems that Sony attack the micro system market more. The CMT-BX70DBi includes a built in iPod dock. Simply plug it in and you have a selection of the total array of digital entertainment as it also has an mp3 player, a cd player and the DAB radio has 30 stations preset. It is also charging the iPod as you listen.
Roberts best selling model is the Ecologic-5 which is really an alarm clock radio and has the ability to change to a low power state when on standby and the radio is not on and it just shows the time, then power up again if the alarm goes off. It offers a dual alarm so you can set two different waking times, one for days you have to go to work and the other for weekends. You can also choose whether the radio or buzzer awakens you. The large screen of the ECO-5 is very readable, displaying what time it is and which program is on against a dimmable blue backlight. 10 preset stations are on hand to set up as your pick of radio stations.
In today’s world where money is tight, we decided to only discuss the cheaper radios that you can buy at present. Of course, you can pay a lot more if you can afford it. Good luck in your search for your portable DAB radio.
