If thats all you need and the claimed perfick DAB reception isn't up to
it then why bother with DAB?. If you follow most any DAB forum apart
from poor audio quality, OK not that much of a problem for a bathroom
radio, the biggest gripe is power consumption and hence battery life!..

R3 uses a higher data rate than any other and is likely to sound just
fine. As will R4 being mainly speech.
I also wonder just how many would notice the other stations low data rate
on a portable. My guess is very, very few. Especially in a blind test. ;-)


Thats about all its good for portable listening, provided you've got the
battery belt to go with it;!...
