Portable DAB radio recommendation

[Phunk]

Looking for a good FM/DAB radio that can run off batteries and mains for us to use in our Motorhome.

Not massively fussed on sound quality, mainly just need it to work well in low reception areas.

Any suggestions?

I have the old version of this Sony: http://www.sony.co.uk/electronics/dab-radios/xdr-s...

It's brilliant.

DAB/DAB+/FM, runs off 4 x AA batteries for ages but comes with a mains plug as well, very compact, excellent reception with telescopic antenna.

I use mine all the time when I'm in the workshop or garden etc.

Mine was about £40-50 in Currys I think.

Edit: the new one is now reduced to £34 in Currys. Crazy cheap.

Another vote here for the little Sony. A genuinely cracking little radio which seems to run for hours on the batteries.

I use a Roberts SolarDAB 2, it's more expensive than the Sony but runs for ages on solar when we're away camping.

Good find, but at just £4 more for the Sony, I think I would be spending the extra.

I'd go for the Pure One Mini S2 with a chargepak, it'll cost you more but it recharges whilst plugged in, is small and light has a good natural sound and I've found the Pure radios are the best at pulling in DAB stations in mediocre reception areas. My series one must be seven year old now?

You can also use it as a portable speaker for an iPod or similar. Oh, and it's got FM 'n' all.
