Hi,
The Goodmans radio I have in the lounge uses the same chipset as the
Pure, so it has the same controls. The presets are written to flash, so
they are not lost. You can wipe the whole thing back to orig settings
by holding menu button for three seconds and pressing confirm to say you
want the option confirmed. I have an Tempis radio in the bedroom which
is very similar in operation, but it also has a radio allarm. I don't
use a personal DAB, as I would find it quite bad when I leave this
house, I fear.
Andrew.

Hi Robert and all,
I was fortunate enough to be left a Goodmans DAB by Santa, but because
it was the last one in the shop, and indeed was on display, I ended up
with just a quick start guide and no full instruction book.
I'm sure I'll get sighted help to do my pre sets etc, but can anyone
tell me, if I unplug the radio, and take it to another room for example,
will my preset stations be lost? I suppose if I get it equipped with
batteries, then I'll overcome this one, but, well, just wondered...
Cheers, Robin.
