Which is the reason I want it. I have a portable DAB that was going cheap, with the intention of using it while at work and walking to/from work - I can't bare the thought of a 30-45min walk without any radio. And as I always listen to TalkSport, the digital signal is significantly better than the medium wave of analogue models.
Incidentally, it has now decided to prove me totally wrong and has started working with this current set of rechargeables!!!
