General Comments

Got a pure digital pocket radio for christmas last year which was fantastic, however due to my own carelessness I dropped and broke it, thus giving my missus the opportunity to provide me with a new dab portable radio.

Sorry Sony but there is just no comparision between the reception I got on my old Pure radio and my new very pretty but digitally challanged XDRM1.

I had to scan a number of times before picking up any stations at all, but the quality of reception is just pathetic. Sony would have done better to make it a little bigger and beef up the reception circuitry. All in all its a bit of a gold plated chocolate teapot. Great to look at but absolutely useless.
