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>
