PURE ONE Classic, Portable DAB/FM Radio - Black

Product Information

Now this is what we call a portable radio. One of the stalwarts of the Pure range, the One Mini is a real fisherman's friend of a radio, ideal for taking to the park or on holiday thanks to its square, compact dimensions. The regional versions of BBC One HD have now launched on satellite – Freesat and Sky viewers with high definition (HD)-enabled devices can now watch their local version of BBC One in HD on channel 101 (BBC One HD). Freeview viewers also now have their version of BBC One HD listed in the HD genre in EPG slot 101. Some hi-fi’s have external AM aerials that tend to look like many wires wound around a plastic loop. This needs to be rotated to find the best signal.

As of the 4th June 2023, the new Bilsdale mast is now transmitting a full set of BBC television services. DAB uses multiplexes to group services together.The BBC network stations, e.g. BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 4are grouped together in a single multiplex. Nations and Local radio services are carried on a mix of commercial multiplexes. When Radio 5 Sports Extra is on air, you should find it right next to 5 Live on the list of stations on your digital radio. The same is true for Radio 4 LW on DAB. It can be found next to Radio 4 on the list of stations. To find out if a particular switch is causing the problem, try turning the lights off one at a time.

If this distant radio signal is on the same frequency as the one you are listening to itcan cause a reception problem. This is because your radio will struggle decoding two radio stations on the same frequency. This is known as co-channel interference AM reception can vary a great deal from day to night because of differences in the atmosphere. You may get good, clear reception during the day, but after sunset the signal may fade or become distorted. This is why you can often hear radio stations from outside the UK at night. Our information on how clear skies and fine weather can affect your radio receptionmay be useful, please see our Weather Guide. Demand for our help scheme resources that launched in March this year has been much lower than expected and we believe the number of homes still using SD-only satellite equipment is now far lower than anticipated. Following the introduction of red on-screen messaging in September, we are now in the final stages of migrating those remaining SD-only satellite homes on to HD-enabled devices. As such, to offer best value for money for all licence-fee payers, we are bringing the channel closure date slightly forward. If your radio is a portable, try moving the aerial to different angles. You could also try a different position in the room. Window sills and high shelves are good places for radios; avoid putting them close to radiators or electronic equipment such as computers, mobile/cordless phones or TV sets.

Telescopic aerials on portable radios should be fully extended to receive a good signal. Tilting and swivelling the aerial will help to get the best signal. Broken aerials may affect reception. Press and hold the button labelled "Auto-Tune" or "Scan" to start a full scan (a short press starts a "Fast Scan"). If you are experiencing pixellation or picture break up, it may be that your signal is too strong as this often presents itself similarly to a weak signal. This is likely to happen if you live close to a transmitter. I know some still listen to the likes of Forth 1/Tay FM and maybe Northsound but Kingdom and Original still seem to do ok in there broadcast areas. These fit directly under an outside aerial and usually the best type of amplifier to fix weak signals.

DAB FAQs

Resetting your DAB Radio removes all presets, stored stations and favourite stations and alarm/timer settings and resets all options to defaults. To reset: Ensure the telescopic/integrated aerial is fully extended. Try moving the radio around to see if you can find a better position where you get good reception of all the stations you want to listen to.

Depending on the transmitter you are using, your aerial elements will need to be mounted flat (horizontal) or on its side (vertical).A qualified aerial installer with local knowledge will be able to advise further.
