chubbster Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 I've just taken delivery of a cheap portable DAB radio/MP3 player... It was £32.98 from Amazon. The earphones are cheap and the clock function doesn't work properly, but I don't care because the DAB function is excellent (60 crystal clear stations in my area) and it works really well in the car - just plug it into the aux socket. I think my USB socket will charge it too, but I've not tried that yet. You can buy it for £29.98 direct from the company (Clever Gadgets) in Bristol - LINK HERE - but don't expect too much in the way of customer support from them, from what I've read. Also, you'll need to put your MP3's on a micro SD card, which is not supplied. For me this is a cheap and effective solution to the problem of not having DAB radio in the car. Plus, as it's portable, it can be transferred to whichever car/campervan I like. Read the Amazon reviews before you buy - some fussy people have issues with it, but for me it's fine.

glrnet Posted February 20, 2014 Share Posted February 20, 2014 It'll be interesting to hear what it's like in areas where signal strength is not so good, it's not for me as I have a Pure DAB that I move between vehicles (antenna in each vehicle power supply hard wired in). The idea of a portable DAB does have an appeal though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbster Posted February 20, 2014 Author Share Posted February 20, 2014 I shall use it next time I go somewhere and let you know how it performs. Currently I've only gone into town and back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
