Aria Digital's A-3000 DAB digital radio is due to hit the stores from next month, being the first handheld DAB radio to include both Band III and Band L digital radio reception.

The dual-band reception means owners of the pocket handheld can take it to the continent or on holiday and use it in other countries where DAB digital radio stations are transmitted.

It is expected several of the large electrical retailers and a number of online stores will be stocking the Aria A-3000.
