Can anyone recommend a good portable (pocket) DAB radio please? I have tried a couple including an Alba model but can't get the BBC stations on either one although I have no problem on a mains model I have.

I've got two DAB portables and to be perfectly honest I wouldn't bother with any of them. The [DAB] signal keeps breaking up because the only aerial you have are the earphones. Sorry to be so negative but I really wouldn't waste your money.

Thanks for your advice, I will leave it for now and see how the technology improves in the furure. Reading recent articles it looks like Dab might go the way of Betamax and that old in car cassette system (I can't remember what it was called). The irony is that those systems were apparently superior to VHS and Cassette tape which Dab is quite clearly not superior to very much at all. Anyway, thanks again I appreciate your advice.

i have one, and its absolutley fine. made by bush. cheap enough at around £30 pounds i think it was. i suppose it depends where u are???

If you drive then get a Pure Highway - in car DAB and when you get out of the car its a portable DAB player in one. Easy to use. best bit of tech i've bought in years
