In Car DAB - Pure Highway any good?

Heard the advert for the Pure Highway in car DAB attachment today (link via the Pure website is http://www.pure.com/products/product.asp?Product=VL-60905 )

The price seems quite reasonable £60 from play.com , can anyone vouch for the quality though? Amazon have some good customer reviews and very tempted at the price to dip my toes with it

Very happy with mine. You'll get black spots around certain areas but that's the signal not the radio, does a good job considering you're on the move. Sound quality is as good as any other DAB radio I've had, usually keeps a 90-100% signal quality.

Only complaint I had with it is that you really have to leave it attached to the windscreen (the external aerial lead has to trail along the window) so it looks a bit of a thief magnet if you park your car in a public place - much like leaving a satnav on view. Otherwise It works better than I expected though if you're doing a long journey it can fade very quickly as you pass through regions - around a single locality it's fine. Also note that the police are taking an interest in drivers who have things attached to the windscreen - they are liable to block the view of the road and a few people have been cautioned for this - will post the news link if I can find it again.
