"Argos, code number is 5002553, was £99.99 now £44.99 .
Ring & reserve using this code number for a bargain."


Just bought one, ordered via Argos Beckton, 45 UKP. So far so good:
- picks up loads of stations at full signal
- nicely screwed together with 2 yr warranty
- sounds rather muffled and bassy, but quite pleasing, rather like an
old Roberts
- very impressed when routed through the stereo



Impressed with DAB through a stereo???? I thought this was an audio
newsgroup??


I bought it as part of my gadget accumulation regime, and the fact
that i like to listen to BBCR6 and world service, both of which were
too much of a faff pre-Evoke. For the money and my whims, no
complaints.




I suggest you get Freeview, because the audio quality of 6 Music on
Freeview wipes the floor with the audio quality of 6 Music on DAB.
