Wanted DAB radio with good battery life

Hi folks,

I was wondering whether anyone can recommend a DAB radio which doesn't buzz noisily on standby when using the mains and doesn't eat batteries.

My current DAB radio is a Ferguson FRG120D by the way.

Any comments gratefully appreciated

Bye for now

The Gadget Show on Channel 5 had a feature on last weeks show regarding DAB radios.

The battery life test went as follows:

The Roberts Gemini RD-46 (£60) got a 4/5 rating and lasted for a whopping 85 hours.
The Pure One got a 3/5 rating and lasted for 37 hours.
The Bush TR82 only got a 2/5 and lasted for 30 hours.

Hope this helps.

The Roberts Gemini 49 takes rechargable batteries and recharges them internally. So your getting a DAB Radio and a Battery Charger for £59.

I just bought a Roberts portable (don't know the model number, but it's one of the "Gemini" series) that boasts 150+ hours battery life.
