Nice, good price for a DAB (y)

You can get it here for £68.50 https://www.ukplanettools.co.uk/Products/Dewalt-Radios/DCR020-GB?gclid=CjwKCAjw4sLVBRAlEiwASblR-0jVVys2XoQIsJlQnW8ibPBNiUWxNZnR_K_pAv6iF3EMwn-Gv-U28BoCXGYQAvD_BwE

Mines just arrived. I ordered it on Sunday night when three came into stock. So I paid £49.99.I will test it later on. It’s replacing a very old similar Sony minidisc unit that the volume knob broke on.

One of the speakers doesnt work.. :'-(

That's a bargain price.

No mini disc either. (party)

not sure about this product 8) where is the cassette deck and what about a turn-table for the vinyls :D

Got this for £30 few months ago from amazon

It charges which most Apple phones need

Looks like a handbag.

People still dock phones? What is this 2005 or something

Have a view quest (VQ) DAB radio and wouldn't recommend them.

So one person with one bad experience means the entire company is rubbish eh ?

Pure are pure sh!te ! My £350 Pure Legato broke soon as did the replacement. RUBBISH !

These are great - I had the original pure siesta that I picked up for a fiver in my local cash converters because someone mispriced it and thought it was just a regular clock radio :)

£35 online, so assume the £30 offer is instore only. Heres a working link to the online one: https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/pure-siesta-mi-ii-dab-alarm-clock-black I've got an older version (had it a good 5 years or more I recon) and still going strong!

I got the earlier version a few years ago and it cost about the same back then. That was/is still a cracking little clock radio with good sound, so any improved model at this price is definitely worth serious consideration.

Thanks for the info obwan2014 (highfive) Also for the very handy link above! :3

I think the bluetooth feature is just to use this radio as a speaker for another device, not the other way around. I.e. you could play music on your phone, connect your phone via bluetooth to this radio and use the bigger / louder speaker in the radio. I think your Soundlink is the speaker already. Also, you would need to check out the coverage of DAB in the area you're visiting: This is such a site for the UK: http://www.ukdigitalradio.com/coverage/postcodesearch/ Just because you can get FM / AM signal, I don't think it automatically means you can get a DAB signal, though not 100% sure.

Agreed. Nice bit of kit, very simple to use. Thanks, OP.

Me too got one for my sons bedroom from Argos for £20, half price (was £40). He barely uses it... The signal isn't good, spend most the time adjusting the aerial trying to get a signal, not clear sound distorts a lot. Speakers are tiny and tinny sounding. Display is on the top not ideal position. The mode buttons are tiny, had to read. Looks and sounds cheap (skeptical) . OK for £11... You can get much better. Typical Argos non quality stuff

Received mine the other day and have been using it as a DIY companion radio listening to DAB and tunes streamed from my phone. As expected, sound volume and quality is not going to blow anyone away but for £12.45 with DAB and bluetooth I'm extremely pleased with it. Absolute bargain.

Im sure I saw this on "The Price is Right" last night valued at well over £200? :o

£109 now

This is a decent radio but price up to £109.99

No Bluetooth?

arrived yesterday - looks good

shipping tomorrow - looking forward to reviewing this

the bluetooth will be handy. i will also connect chromecast audio to this - so its like a cheap sonos ;)

Dab+ is NOT mentioned. The DAB signal has not improved since the damn thing came out and theres several stations LESS than there was FIVE YEARS ago

Looks good but I'll wait for reviews and £20 after Chris!

It was the 'Public warnings' about 'not driving over the railway crossing when the lights are Red' that made me think 'What is actually going on here' Resist.

More like an unashamed mouthpiece for The Sun. Podcasts eliminate the unbearable ads for white van man, The Army, Builders merchants & DIY sores;!

This is a terrible Sony product, mono sound, tinny speaker, mine regularly goes from 100% signal to 0% signal for no apparent reason (must be faulty now). Only worth it to listen to speech based services like Radio 5 Live, but generally avoid.

Stopped listening to DAB when Talksport turned into a Government brainwashing channel. Podcasts only now.

This radio has very tinny sound for a Sony not good at all

Anyone know what the DAB reception is like in the Newbury Berks area? Was thinking of something like this for my mum, can it returned if no reception?

Yes thanks cheaper, but It doesn't look as though the speaker is very big

Great radio, good sound from it, not too bad on batteries compared to PURE POP Maxi (a few hours) which I don't use without power lead.

try this only available at this price in black--and for prime customers -my mum has it and loves it https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00BXR01XU/ref=ox_sc_mini_detail?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE

I don't know why this is called a 'retro' design! Personally, I'd prefer a stereo set of speakers, but voted hot

Poor sound

Not worth it. Source: I have once.

Which? Gave this 62 per cent and said the sound quality was bad, and plastic on unit made buzzing sound at some frequencies eg guitars. Roberts build quality really seems to have dropped over the years.

Use code RTP4517 if necessary.

No...why should it? Not everyone have to care about this. Like you, either def or you just don't care if you listen whole song or just a part of it stripped out of guitars or drums. That's is fine. But I think it's should be mentioned for people who might care, that this radio music quality sucks. There are better ones out there.

You are the only one moaning, nobody else has made an issue about sound quality...Doesn't that cause any worry to you?

What are you 5 dude? Oo

Yes it's a super crap deal to you as it's clear you have a hearing problem. Go get your ears checked at the doctors and come back when you are in a better mood.

Seems like you should examine your IQ. Read it again, focus and maybe then you will understand what I moaning about. Do I have to call them? Based on your reaction you work for them, so just let them know ;) you posted this as a super deal, I just wrote my humble opinion about this as a super crap!

Same problem as everyone else. Drove to Argos to pick it up and told to come back the next day, whicn I did. The next day, I was informed the order had cancelled, no email, nothing. They found another store, which was 10 miles away with just one in stock. However it was priced at £19.99. The other store agreed to honour the £14.99 price. Taking into account three trips to Argos, I guess it stood me in £20 with the diesel I used. However, for £15 this is a great bit of kit and was well worth the journey. Anyone who bleats about the battery life at this price, really needs to get a life. Run it on FM, it'll last longer. With both DAB/FM and built in battery, at under £15, an absolute bargain. Thanks OP, seems there's no pleasing some folk.

I ordered one and paid for it via PayPal on 26th Oct. By Nov 4th I hadn't received a collection ready email so phoned their 'ahem' customer services to be told it was still in transfer and should be there by the 6th. I got an email from PayPal last night to say it had been refunded, absolutely nothing from Argos. I contacted them earlier and they said it was an end of line item. I asked why three other colours of same model were reduced to £19.99 and still available now for £54.99 if it was end of line - nothing. I asked why the colour I ordered was still available on the Argos ebay site at full price - nothing. The store won't let me have another colour at the price I paid, but are offering a whole 10% off. I know sarcasm is supposed to be the lowest form of wit, but Argos customer service is the lowest form of standard.

I ordered one - got it - A terrible product, it was worth the punt but be warned.

If the store has one of the other identical (apart from colour) models in stock, and it may well have, the manager should be quite happy, with a little gentle persuasion, to let you have one of the others for the same price. It took a little while to sort out the paperwork, but it didn't involve a major row.

ordered over a week ago....having been in to store at weekend and told this product would arrive by the 7th, I have now had to contact them because it has not arrived, only to find out that the product is out of stock and they can only refund. Im not a happy biker! BAD BAD ARGOS!!

If you aren't listening to 6Music yet you shouldn't be allowed to use power tools.

Rubbish. Magic fm all day and that's free as well, in fact most radio apps and stations are free, so what's special Bout this one? Cold

I find that they don't repeat during the day, but the following days I can hear the same songs repeated. And with each decade producing so much music, they must work with a limited playlist. 6/10 rating for me, still enough to stay tuned.

I suggest contacting Android about this or calling Fix Radio, I downloaded via Apple and I gave permission for my location to be disclosed which is normal for any radio station or 90% of apps. I think you need to be a little more concerned about the government monitoring calls or your every move rather than a little radio station in London.

I was going to try this out and can see that the Android App needs to have access to your location, your device Id, and whether you have a telephone call (fair enough). But why does the App need access to your phone number and the remote number connected by a phone call? Its a radio app so why is it monitoring who you are calling or who's calling you?

Best tell where your 'here' is. It looks a very very very minor 'here'.

I respectfully disagree. Radios tend to be an item which are not replaced for a long time (years, decades even). Stations are already transitioning from DAB to DAB+ (Jack FM Surrey and Radio Newark to name two examples) and the only way I can listen to Jazz FM here free-to-air without data caps is via DAB+. DAB+ will only grow. Better to future proof your purchase than to pay twice.

Planet Rock, like other DAB stations inc Absolute 80's, didn't move to DAB+..... they just moved to the D2 mux. My non DAB+ radios still gets these stations fine. The problem is that many people are not in the reception area for D2, about 20% of uk coverage are out of reception. It means having to wait until more transmitters get built or use internet radio for these stations. How strong the receiver is in your dab radio will also make a difference whether you receive these stations or not. The 4 national DAB+ stations we currently have are also on this D2 mux.

Some great Comedy on BBC Extra. Just heard season 12 of Ed Reardon's Week is on soon.

Planet rock is on DAB+, a year ago they telling everyone to switch to DAB+ because they wouldn't be on DAB anymore. When it changed over, for a while there was an automated repeated message, I think that has stopped now. It wasn't just Planet Rock that changed over, if you have DAB the airwaves are pretty much empty. DAB+ has been in the UK for over a year now, maybe longer. I used to like Alice Cooper around 10pm but now he's on at 4am. I did get sick of the same old ads. every 15 minutes. I'm more into Prog. Rock. Pendragon and Porcupine Tree/Steven Wilson. Look on youtube, it'll change your taste in music forever.

Picked one up today, quickly found stations and am really happy with it. Ideal kitchen radio...

Looks like a clone of the best selling Pure Evoke 2. Minus the quality and high price.

You listen to radios

I bought one of these to use in the kitchen - it's receiver sensitivity is terrible. In the same location, a cheap Lidl/Aldi DAB radio(I forget which) works fine. As does a Pure Sonus DAB radio. Now this is in a city centre 2nd floor flat, not out in the sticks somewhere. So, if you don't have really good reception where you are - keep the packaging and be prepared to take it back. Probably not a good idea as a present for someone, unless you are pretty sure that there won't be a reception problem.

I'm still at a loss why no DAB+ on these. I got one 3 years ago that has it, despite no mention on the box or manual . There must be a way of making them compatible. The DAB+ stations are on the same multiplex as the DAB stations Absolute 80s, Planet Rock & Kisstory amongst others. Can anyone check if they have these but no DAB+. Why remove a feature that was there 3 years ago? It doesn't make sense.
