PURE'S VOICE TECHNOLOGYSteve.  Maybe you could do a mini review of the new Pure 
talking DAB radio yourself?  It would be interesting to hear what strengths and 
weaknesses it has.  I hope feedback will reach Pure on this.

  Hi Ray,

  I now have the radio in my house.  I have to say that it is really good, and 
even spells out the scrolling text that DAB displays.  It's only a very minor 
shame that they didn't use a text to speech engine, because it can only spell 
out unknown words and channels, but overall, it is very good, and would be well 
worth an In Touch feature.

  All the best

    This is great news Ian.  Look forward to an In Touch feature.  Certainly 
hope it may find its way into the HI-Fi tuners they make.

      Hi all, 

      Since the announcement of the release of the Sonus1XT with Ivox speech 
from Pure, I've asked them whether other DAB products could be upgraded to 
incorporate the voice.  The Bug, for example can have its software upgraded via 
a PC and USB connection.  The answer is that the speech requires a certain 
amount of extra flash memory which isn't available on other sets currently, 
however, they are looking at its wider application across their product range.  

      Cheers now. 

      Ian
