Portable DAB digital radios with FM
Portable digital radios are an ideal way to listen to DAB digital radio stations around the house. Many models can be powered either from the mains or from batteries. Almost all have FM, too, which allows you to tune in to your favourite local radio stations on FM, that aren't yet broadcast on DAB digital radio. Only a few slightly older DAB models, such as the Evoke 1-XT, are DAB-only.
