Review: Review is misleading - radio has 10 presets (4-10 are accesible via tuning wheel once in preset mode).

In general a good device. Reasonable sound and functionality for size and price
Pros: Size, ease of use, display
Cons: if signal bad - doesn't get anything. Need to use extendable aerial to get decent signal.

Review: No FM radio, just DAB, so why pay so much more than a normal FM radio - it's just a different technology, not convinced it's any better than FM, so not willing to pay more than an FM radio.
