Good Points

Bad Points

Unreliable, expensive, menu navigation not intuitive.

General Comments

Received as Xmas present. Worked for 2 hours then put on standby. When turned on again showed it was picking up stations but no sound. Eventually reset to get working again. Next time turned on, no sound despite showing all stations available. Reset didn't work. No sound on FM either. I'm in good reception area, hadn't done something stupid like mute, or record and lost signal (see Pure website). Google it and you'll find a lot of similar cases. Rubbish reliability for very expensive radio in my unscientific sample of one. Returned ASAP.
