Hi Kevin, The Pure pocket DAB 1000 is worked in basically the same way as the MOS set. The main differences are that it's larger, probably about twice the size, has longer battery life, sixteen hours as opposed to twelve, but takes three As instead of two. Oh, one other thing. You can run it of an AC adapter which is provided. Also it's finished in a kind of brushed aluminium instead of plastic. Cheers now.
