this product looks great but there is always a background hum which is really noticable when the volume isn't very high or when listening to quiet music or spoken word. having looked online it would appear this is a common problem. :-(

Very nice looking model. However very poor reliability. After just a year or so it would fail to "connect" properly and now mostly just makes a consistent regular electronic "popping" noise is the best way I can describe it. The display goes blank or partial symbols appear, it goes silent again and then randomly start popping again. Is now u/s. A shame..

Very satisfied with my choice of DAB Digital Radio. The Ferguson FRG-R121D is good value for money.

Could make them cheaper to buy.

I like this radio. It looks good if you like the retro thing (which I do). It projects a nice clear sound and you just plug it in and its ready.

I have exactly the same problem. It has always had a slight humming noise when on, but then the humming increased by a million times and no DAB station could be tuned into (FM really bad). After a while of the mains, I tried again a couple of days ago and I get the same behaviour as you describe (popping noises, etc). I agree... a shame because I really liked this radio. I had it in the bedroom then in the kitchen with an extra speaker connected to it. Sound was fantastic.
