Portable DAB radio recommendation

April 19, 2008 11:41 AM

I'm looking for a good, cheap, portable DAB radio to use outside.

I've got a huge amount of gardening to do in the coming months and want something to listen to whilst I'm doing it. I'd like to get a DAB radio but don't know what's good. It needs to be small, portable, be able to take batteries, last about 4 hours without needing a charge and be under £50. I guess I'll have to make sure it doesn't get wet (unless people make waterproof radios).

Anyone know of such a thing?

I got this one for £29.99 off Amazon a month ago - very lcompact, lightweight and way over 4 hours with the right rechargeable batteries (2500mah and above). Does the trick for me but I mainly use it in the kitchen on mains power.

I've got a Pure Move which I've been very happy with, it only needs recharging once a week, very small and light and the reception is good. It's slightly above your budget limit but you can probably get one on ebay for less.
