[QUOTE="DaDragon, post: 98819, member: 177427"] Was looking around Stockport the other day and wandered into Richersounds.They were selling a Panasonic DAB radio with FM included for £59.95,walked out and checked in as many other local stores as possible and saw the same unit for£84-£124.I went back and guess what!!?,they'd sold out!!.I saw one in the window and said "why can't i have that one?".After a bit of umming and arring i got them to sell it for £50 cash.I found it really quite good,it downloaded 61 channels in a couple of seconds and although the aeriel has to be just right for reception performs quite well.On the back is an "F" conector for an external aeriel so i connected some satellite coax to the "F" connector and the other end to a spare output on my TV booster and "Bang",the signal went through the roof,so the signal is now stable and i think it's a good £50 well spent! If the reception does go pear shaped(which i doubt)then i can use the FM stations.One more thing i did was to change the battery connections,it takes 6,1.5volt batteries and would cost me nearly 8 quid to buy,so i got an old smoke alarm and cut out the 9volt connector,soldered it in to the battery bay and it costs just 2 quid for a 9volt battery!!!.Now when i'm at home i can use the mains adaptor and when i want to take it outside i can use the cheap battery power!!
