Review of DAB Digital radio

I bought myself a digital radio today, only a standard thirty quid model. The coolest thing apart from the extra rock channels is the little display showing all sorts of details about the show and station. One bad point is that as part of the advertisement for DAB is that unlike analogue radio, digital is crackle free. However this does not make it excempt from reception issues which it still suffers from. In that respect radio will always be radio; its something you will probably never get away from.

The sound quality itself might be improved however not to a noticable level through small speakers. Overall a good investment, I can see the advantage over normal radio but if you have a FM radio station that suits your listening pleasures I wouldn't go through extra efforts to switch to DAB as all stations are still the same sort of content as normal stations and unless theres one particular station that appeals to you then you are likely to go back to your old FM station before too long.
