Electronics : Roberts RD 14 Personal Stereo
Rating: 
- Don't hesitate.
After reading various reviews on personal DAB radios I nearly gave up the idea. In the end I took the plunge and opted for the Roberts as we already have two Roberts DABs in the house which we love. I wanted the radio for walking the dog and the odd bit of jogging through the fields and lanes in Devon. Although the man in the shop said it's not designed for jogging, it seems to love it! It's amazing. Reception is brilliant, just the very occasional bit of burbling when you go into a dip to cross a river, but it doesn't mean you can't hear what's being said. Fits well into a pocket. Casing and controls feel really good. Buttons and control wheel don't get moved by accident, although there is a lock for the control wheel. Supplied earphones are fine, bit then I don't have an ipod so may not be very discerning in this respect. Although there are no presets, let's be honest, it's not that difficult to select a station using DAB is it. I'm using rechargeable batts. Receives about 28 stations in Devon, including all the bbcs and classic. Compared to FM and MW around here, there's no contest. Unless you live in an area where DAB is dodgy, just go and get one. It's my new best friend.
