[access-uk] Re: TIME TO BUY A NEW DIGITAL RADIO?

Hi Jackie.

I might be getting one of these pure moods, I'm looking for a DAB radio and I've heard nothing but encouraging remarks about it on list. Sorry if I seem like I'm missing something, but what is the Dulit?

All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi Carol

I take my Pure Move everywhere when I travel.  I think it's a great
little radio to be honest, and FM is really good too.  In fact, if I go
somewhere and the hotel doesn't permit a good DAB signal, I find FM
pretty handy just to have something on.

As for John Lewis, enjoy yourselves in there, it's a favourite pastime
of mine to go looking at their radio selection.  And I hope you love the
Dulit as much as I do, it's one of my best purchases ever.

As for updating the Move, I've never done so, nor would really ever want
to.  To be honest, I think you might need sighted assistance to see the
screen prompts, but this is just a guess, it might not be factual.

Enjoy, you lucky girl!! (smiles).

As I mentioned to Paul, I read your write-up very soon afterwards and
discovered you'd told me.

You may want to answer the question I've asked Paul about the reception
you've got when you've been out and about with it, please.

We're also wondering if there have been any upgrades, for which you've
needed to use the USB socket.  If you've upgraded, how did you find the
process?

We're definitely getting a radio soon and are just working through our
options now.

We intend to go and have a play around at John Lewis too in the next
week - and then decide!  I have a feeling that we'll end up with the
Pure Move for out and about and the Dualit Kitchen for home!  <Smiles>

Hi Carol

Not Tris, but he won't mind! (smile).

Basically, the Pure Move has what you call a preset button.  You press

this, then use your left or right arrow of the joystick to move
between those you have set.
It always defaults to number one when you go into it, so you just jog
right once to reach Radio Two if that's what you've set preset two as.

I hope this is making sense, but come back to me if you want a further

breakdown of how it works.

Tris,

Looking back on this thread, are you saying the Pure Move doesn't have

preset buttons, or just a few?

I also have a Pure Move and its reception is really quite good and
better certainly than my Evoke 3.  The downside of the Move from a
"blind perspective" will be its lack of direct preset buttons which
means it is somewhat more reliant on its display.  I would suggest
people try it with a friendly local retailer before committing to it
The Move does not take dry batteries but has an internal recharable
that seems to hold rharge quite well.

The nearest radio in size to the Move that I have seen if the Roberts

Ecologic 2 (which I think is a renamed version of something that I
saw

earlier this year) which will take dry batteries and has direct
preset

buttons.
