If by "Boom Box" you mean something like the Ministry of Sound MOSRC023 - Portable Boombox - With CD & DAB Radio, £60, it does not have an alarm and I very much doubt that you will get an alarm on a portable.

The Ministry of Sound MOSRC023 is £49.99 in Coop in Honiton.

Tesco have some bargains at the moment. The Pure One is £39.99 in their electrical clearance and is a very nice radio (in pink or white). I missed out on the Pure Oasis (with chargepak and good for kitchens and bathrooms) sadly which was £89 but can be found for just over £93 if you froogle for it.
For those who wanted a DAB that can connect to ipod or similar, I believe the Pure Oasis can.

Picked up a cheap and cheerful Grundig Opus this week on my local market stall, £14-99. Specs are here http://www.dab-digital-radio.com/grundig_opus.htm mains only but just the job for the shed where I am currently spending a peaceful Saturday afternoon listening to the footy.
He had quite a few different types, the most expensive one being £22 which he explained had some facility to record the remainder of a programme if you pressed the right buttons, isn't technology wonderful ?
Sorry I can't give a precise retail outlet but just advanced notice that they could be coming to a market stall near you (if they haven't already).

Not a DAB radio as such, but the Matsui DA-1 DAB audio adapter was £20 in Curry's Speke on Friday. Might be worth seeking out for a very cheap way to add DAB to your HiFi.....

I bought one It's pretty good. It works exactly like the vast majority of the DAB radios out there really. I'm sure most have the same innards, or chip, or somthing. Only a crappy wire antenna (so good signal required), L & R phonos out and a (reasonably decent) remote to control it with. Not bad for £20, wouldn't pay the £50-60 they usually charge for it though. I think that'll do me for dab radios now, I've got 7

Hi

I'm looking for a DAB radio because my old portable has finally died. Until the internet radios come down to a reasonable price, I was looking for a cheap-ish model that can run off batteries.

I was looking at the itech at Amazon and the Clarus at Maplin, both of which can take SD cards and have dual power supplies and are currently under £40. I can't find a single review of the MagicBox Clarus, so has anyone here bought one and are they any good for that price?

Thanks!
