    I could be wrong, but I don't think its possible to record from an FM broadcast at all on one of these radios.

    My understanding is that DAB broadcasts can be recorded because the information is already digital and ready to be stored on the memory card - it is simply decoded upon playback in the same way a live signal is decoded.

    FM broadcasts, being analogue, would have to be converted to some a digital signal (and most likely compressed) before it could be stored on memory card, and the electronics required would add extra cost and weight at the very least.
