    Default DAB+ Radio Recommendation

    G'day all,

    I'm in the market for a portable DAB+ radio and would appreciate any feedback from members who have one. Prepared to pay up to $300. Features I'm after are a rotary volume control (I hate up/down buttons), large display, at least 15 presets, and most importantly at least a 4 inch speaker with acceptable sound quality.

    Thanks in advance

    I had trouble finding one with an am tuner which was on my feature list. When you want a couple of features the range really shrinks.
    This ticks next to none of your boxes but is was cheap ($60) from the good guys. Just called a Laser, 3 1/2 inch speaker, am/fm/dab+. Only 10 presets and volume buttons but they are raised nicely out the front of the unit and easy to use.
    A great unit to take out to picnics, parks, sport etc but not a party unit.

    Thank You
    That ilounge site is awesome.
    Android and Iphone Apps, seems almost a better alternative to TuneIn Radio.
    Some really nice DAB+/Iphone dock/WiFi radios too!!!
    I have seen the small little DAB+/Fm Transmitter unit in a car before...
    Didn't realise they made so much more and had a great site to go hand in hand with gear.

    you can do all that and use a small bluetooth receiver plugged via rca to the home stereo also, cheap easy not portable as TVguy wanted but still cheap and easy

    When I explained to the guy what avatar I wanted, that wasn't what I meant!
