Bargain: DAB Radio £10.99

Noticed some of the old ITECH DAB/FM Cube radios today - behind the till in Superdrug. Asked the sales assistant to scan for the price and it came up at an incredible £10.99.

  • Err, you still need to tune it lol a dial on it wil just change the frequency.
  • Before I make a trip to my local SD (done this several times before and always fail to find a bargain) does anybody know if these are in any SD in Portsmouth \ Southampton areas ?

  • Great price for a DAB - certainly come down in price.

    What are you saying. do you not own a dab radio?

    A dab radio automatically scans and stores the stations for you.

    No need to fiddle with tuning the word DIGITAL sort of gives it away.

    No need to fiddle with tuning it manually.

    But you still need some way to change the channels. You can do this with up and down buttons or a dial.

    It also makes it easier to change the time setting for the alarm.

    Only problem with this radio is that there is no way to have the backlight on permanently - meaning you have to press a button on it to see the time at night. Apart from that it sounds pretty good and has reasonable reception sensitivity.
    They promised the earth...and delivered mud. Technically though it did meet the spec.

    I have a Pure One and you change stations by turning a knob.
