Default DAB advice

Hi, Looking for a DAB radio to leave in the bathroom! Main problem is
reception - it seems to be a weak signal - so sensitivity is an issue.
Also must run on batteries so battery life is a consideration. Does not
need any fancy features - radios 3 and 4!


Any ideas?


DAB tends to be much heavier on batteries than analogue due to the
processing involved. If battery life is important FM would be a better
choice. If you're worried about it being switched off I'm willing to bet
this simply won't happen in the foreseeable future. Too many cars without
it - and no signs of it being fitted to new ones.
