DAB Radio Alarm Clock

s-j-cooper_2

Our alarm clock went mad and sounded a bit like a dalek this morning. It wouldn't turn off, and even when I switched it off at the mains it took ages to die!

Anyway, this now means that I am after a new one and I fancy one that has DAB.

I have had a look around and something like the Pure Chronos (although it may be a bit expensive), or this one from Acoustic Solutions seem to fit the bill. It seems like a good price anyway.

Any other suggestions out there? I would be happy to consider a regular dab radio set if it has an alarm.

I went for the Pure Bug Too as it is reduced to £60 in Comet (The cheaperst is around £80 online!). I actually got the display model, so it was discounted to £54 (it also meant I could have a good play with it before buying it). It has some fantastic functions and was only a few quid more tha some of the ones I was looking at (although it was a bit over my budget).

If you have a Makro card they have the Pure Tempus 1 at £49.99+vat. (It definately is a Tempus- the price surprised me)

If you dont have a Makro card morgan computers often have some good graded or refurb stock.

Thanks for all of your replies, but I already bought the Bug Too! There were some cheaper ones, but I was after one with usb so it can be upgraded in the future.

Do not buy it for that much as it is not worth it.... I bought mine from superdrug for £11...... As they were discontinued..... Although mine is faulty and keeps crashing...... Got to try andask the company to replace it for me since superdrug won't since they don't have any left....
