I found the telescopic a pain with that one and also that it didn't hold
the signal as well on the move. Plus, when you lost the signal and got
it back, you were placed on the first station on the multiplex instead
of the one you'd been listening to so you were having to retune quite a
lot.
Cheers now.

I went for the old Purstel but I'm not sure you can get it any
more. It has fm as well, which gets you reception when DAB doesn't
work. Not that impressed with it, but it is easier than many.

My brother has a pocket DAB radio and finds it doesn't
work on a lot of trains. And of course the thing with digital is that
it's generally 'all or nothing', so if you are having signal problems
you generally won't hear anything at all, so it's not as if you can get
something that is just about listenable.

Hi Mark,
Most VIs I know have gone for the Ministry of
sound DR011. However, the |Pure 1000 operates in almost exactly the same
way. But it's chunkier and takes three batteries instead of two
although this gives extended battery life. Neither of these models have
telescopic aerials. I've not seen the Roberts model. As for your final
question, Pure is planning to launch a pocket version of the Bug, with
pause, rewind and ability to record to SD card. My info is that they're
not yet sure whether they would prioritise this for having the IVox
speech put on it as they have to suss out the likely market. However, I
know it is something they're thinking about.
Hope this helps.
Cheers now.
Ian

Hi,
As my Sony pocket radio has just given
up the ghost, I'm looking to buy a pocket DAB radio to use on my daily
train journeys to and from work.
I'm wondering whether anyone has
experience of these. Which are the most accessible models, and how well
do they work on modern trains. My experience suggests that some of the
newer rolling-stock is less signal-freindly than the old 'slammers'.
Does anyone also know whether Pure is
planning to launch a talking pocket radio in the near future.
Any advice appreciated.
Mark
