    I got the £32 pocket DAB very impressed thanks to OP!

    Any good deals on pocket DABS with built in MP3 (ideally expandable via SD Ram etc) like this I think and anntenna in headphones?

    Have just come back from Asda and they have DAB radio's for under £40.

    I am not very technically minded so I have no idea as to specs etc but for £40 who is going to complain?

    Saw these at WH Smiths Cribbs Causeway today for £39.95 - I wasn't sure if they were a good deal or not but now I am wishing I had to buy one. They also had a white Alba model for the same price.

    If anyone has any experience of either of these I would be grateful for a PM or a review, I may have to get myself back there to buy one.

    Bush TR-2003

    Peter Wilkins has also given the Bush TR-2003 (priced at just under £100) the once over for Here and Now too: "This radio is battery/mains powered, has ten pre-sets on DAB and a further ten on FM, and is small enough to put in a travel bag. This is a very useful radio to take away with you, as it has no sharp corners, and the case has a rubberised feel to it.

    "The set does contain two stereo speakers, though these are rather small and close together. There is also a headphone socket. The radio is easy to use, with all the controls on the top, except the on/off switch, which is on the side, and this is unlikely to be knocked when travelling. The Bush's performance on DAB is very acceptable, but FM is rather poor."

    I went to Comet (Botley Road, Oxford) today. They had Acoustic Solutions DAB radios at £29.99 reduced from £49.99. This was in the managers clearance pile but they had boxed stock so it wasn't a one off item.

    Which model?

    Hi All

    Cheepest I could find this on Froogle was £56 + postage. Bought this morning at the Co-op in Lincoln for £49.99.

    Good basic DAB Radio from Roberts. Reception good in my office where FM could not cope with PC etc (horrible whine in background).

    Mains or battery. No FM - but does not matter for me- see above.

    Hi, just bought a "baby pink" digital radio from John Lewis with alarm clock feature, mains and battery etc. www.johnlewis.com
    Absolutely gorgeous and girly. Will look lovely in the kitchen.
    They are reduced to £65. I tracked down a £10 off voucher for new customers from a forum and with P and P paid £58.95.
    Included is a two year guarantee.
    I love John Lewis as over the years if I have had a problem they have refunded/ exchanged with no problems.

    Can't figure out how to do link sorry.

    Hey, me too! I bought it from the store, they have a 2 year guarantee on their electrical products, so great for extra piece of mind.
