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!


Pure Oasis. Cracking piece of kit: showerproof, damn loud (important
in a shower) and decent battery life. There's a new version, the
Oasis Flow, that has analogue radio too. I find the reception
execellent, but I'm in Cambridge which has middling DAB signal
strength.


Well Cambridge has according to Arqiva and the BBC excellent strength a
mix of Band 3 mitters from Madingley up to 5 kW !..


Aha, that explains why the reception is so good these days. My info
was well out of date. I stand corrected, thanks.
