    Very difficult to change stations as the scroll wheel tends to either go slow or overshoot. rattles like crazy until you take the battery cover off. Very good sound from the line out into a good sound system. Reception poor but that could be down to where I live (edge of Dartmoor). Despite this I do ...

    The Acoustic Solutions Portal 2 DAB/FM without preset`s, is a bin job, gave it away !. I have now had 4 DAB`s...the one`s with blue readout seem to fail within a year. so you don`t know what station you have till the ID.comes on. there is no tone control ..bad ....stick to FM

    I bought this at Argos for £29.99 as i needed to replace an old analogue radio. I thought i'd start off at the cheaper end first , just to see what DAB was like. I accept that DAB can be of inferior quality to FM as i believe they are trying to cram a lot of stations into a narrow bandwidth, ...

    I got this Accoustic Solutions radio for £3.74 from a Tesco clearance section, less than you would pay for an equivalent FM one! I'd never really considered DAB before this mainly due to the cost as I've never experienced a bad FM signal on the stations I listen to in my area. However to pick ...

    To be fair I'm hard to please, and I suspect that my Acoustic Solutions Portal 2 DAB/FM radio may have been defective, at least I hope so.

    The sound of this unit was atrocious. No ifs or buts.

    The case rattled very badly at normal speech listening levels, and for any rock/pop music it was con ...

    Handle could be stiffer to act as stand - bows a bit.

    I use it as an FM/DAB Tuner.
    Using line out socket gives very good quality input to a hi fi amp.
    Compares well with fancy tuners costing £150 - £200 or more.

    I'd expect an Acoustic Solutions Portal 2 DAB/FM digital radio to sound crisp and clear but this was far from it. Also the bass is very weak - almost embarassing when listening to a rock music station. Signal strength was fine so I tried headphones and the sound quality was miles better. However at ...

    After comparing reviews I bought the Acoustic Solutions Portal 2 for its good quality at a competitive price. It takes less than 30 seconds to find all the stations and set itself up. You can check the level of reception with a metering device activated on the display panel. I had good reception her ...

    The Acoustic Solutions Portal 2 DAB/FM is very easy to set up for the DAB stations - it just needs a touch on the auto-tune button and it locks on to the 80 currently available channels in my area instantly. There is a good clear stereo sound from the small speakers and a nice retro design in genera ...
