General Comments

Bush isn't known for good build quality, the Bush DABCR2003 digital radio is no exception. Although on the whole it looks High-Tech, the LED display is poorly lit and the buttons rattle. It's very easy to set up but I only received 19 channels, where my Intempo PG-01 recieves 45. It's very fussy where I place it for reception, but maybe I am expecting too much from its thin wire antenna.

I've read specifications on this radio that claim it includes an FM tuner, this is not true. I have not been able to find out whether I have a newer model, but I bought this through Great Universal Stores November 2003, so assume it must be.

On the plus side, it has very good sound from the compact speakers and there are options to display everything available about your reception and broadcast. The alarm clock works as expected with a 2 tier sound level on the buzzer (the second being VERY loud) and generally this is all easy to set up. There is no 24hr clock option but you do get 2 separate alarms.

To conclude, you would be better spending your money on the Intempo, which has an alarm clock facility, better reception and certainly better build quality.
