Ecodigital's buyers guide to dab digital radios

   

You want to buy a dab radio, so what features should you look out for?


DAB Radios have all the features of analogue radios but some extra strings to their bow!

Some DAB Radios enable the user to record live programmes in an internal memory card
If this advanced feature is important to you check how many programmes can be stored or if each new recording wipes out the last.

Some of the latest models of DAB Radios enable the user to pause and rewind live programmes
This can be useful if someone telephones you when you listening to your favourite radio show. You could pause and go back to where you left off.

DAB Radios automatically tune in to the stations that are available in your area
When you first turn a DAB Radio on it finds the available stations. The display shows the name of the station and you can then store your favourites as preset options.

Some DAB Radios offer stereo sound
If stereo sound is what you are after then you can choose a model with two speakers, or some dab radios allow you to add a second speaker as an optional extra. Some can be connected to your existing stereo hi-fi system.

Some DAB Radios are pocket size
There are DAB radio models available that will fit in your pocket. These are designed for use with headphones.

Certain DAB Radio manufacturers have now produced clock radio versions
You get all the regular features that you would get in an analogue clock radio.

DAB Radios use more power than analogue
DAB Digital radios use more power to deliver their advanced features so if you want a true portable consider the capability of recharging batteries. Or with the revolutionary freeplay Devo the ability to wind it up as a back up plan for power.

You can still get FM on a lot of DAB Radios
Worth bearing in mind if you want to take your radio to a location where the broadcasts are still in FM.

Is the DAB Radio you want to buy well made
To get the best out of a DAB Radio it needs to have a good speaker otherwise you will not get the maximum benefit.
