Hi, I bought a radio once whilst in Jersey without speech guidance and it only cost me 29 pounds! It was from Woolworths which alas that store/company is no more! I generally can know the stations I'm hitting without the speech guidance! A little getting used to your DAB will I feel be okay in my humble opinion! DABs with speech guidance are very expensive certainly at least for my budget! Enjoy Dab whatever route you take, it's certainly great listening! Tony Sweeney
