Portable DAB Radio

On this page you will be able to look for suppliers of the various kinds of portable DAB radio in different sizes and in various colours with such a wide choice of manufacturer. Portable DAB radios will help keep you occupied whilst you are on your travels as you can listen to music programs, keep up to date with the news, get the latest sports results, or just use it as an mp3 player before you get home.  You will never lose touch and nearly 90% of the UK is now covered.

DAB Radio is pretty much weather resistant so it does not matter if it is sunny, snowing, raining or whatever you will always get a crystal clear reception without the hiss, fading and crackle found in analogue radios.  This is because the digital signal is produced from technology based on land instead of satellite as in television and as there are now lots of transmitters around you will never be a long way away from one.
<br /><br />
These DAB radios today are lightweight and compact so that you can take them around easily but they are absolutely stylish enough to keep on any surface inside your home.  If you stand them upright you can easily read what channel is on when looking at the large LCD display.  Also there are a lot more programs than you can get on an analogue radio.
<br /><br />
Setting up the stations is very easily achieved as normally they automatically tune themselves.  You don’t have to play with dials to find a good reception, as soon as it picks up a signal that’s it. its also lots simpler to make sure that you are tuned into the channel that you want as they are sorted by name rather than frequency number so a name will appear rather than a number and the display often gives you details about the title and artist if you are listening to a music channel.
<br /><br />
To change a portable DAB radio into a personal one the majority of them have a jack socket to plug in an ear piece.  This means you can comfortably listen whereever you are and not bother anyone else near you.
<br /><br />
The main makers of radios have all brought out out DAB versions and leading the way seem to be Sony, PURE and Roberts.  Let us take a look at some of the most bought ones.
<br /><br />
One favourite is the PURE One DAB FM portable radio black which, at the time of writing, sells for under 50 pounds, yet has an brilliant spec.   The PURE ONE Classic has won awards and is a FM and DAB radio that sounds great, looks great but more importantly is very simple to use.  There is also a cooking timer to make life easier in the kitchen.
<br /><br />
You can use it for as much as forty hours without a battery change, lowering the amount you have to pay and saves a bit of the environment. Alternatively 6 standard C size ordinary batteries will give you up to 80 hours of listening time.
<br /><br />
It seems that Sony operate more for the micro system market.  The CMT-BX70DBi also has a built in iPod dock.  Simply plug it in to get a choice of the total range of digital entertainment as there is also an mp3 player, a cd player and the DAB radio has thirty preset stations.  It is also charging the iPod while you are listening.
<br /><br />
The main radio marketed by Roberts is the Ecologic-5 which is basically a clock alarm radio and it changes to a low power state when on standby and the radio is not on and the time shows, then spring into action again if the alarm needs to go off. The Roberts Ecologic 5 has dual alarm mode so you can arrange for it to ring later on weekends than in the week. You can also select whether the radio or buzzer wakes you up. The big screen of the ECO-5 is very readable, it shows what time it is and which program is on against a blue backlight which you can dim. There are also 10 station presets are available for your choice of radio stations.
<br /><br />
In today’s economy where money is tight, we decided to only talk about the lower price radios that are availavle to buy at present.  Needless to say, you can pay a lot more if you have the money.  Good luck while surfing for your portable DAB radio.
