Not good for the environment. So the one sets I do own stays plugged in - still using more energy than an FM.<br /><br />When I replaced a set act Christmas I deliberately bought an FM because.... It is for the bathroom so must work on batteries.<br /><br />Also, why pay a lot more money for a set where I don't need the extra features? The DAB set I have only switches bettered Radio 4 and Radio 3.<br /><br />DAB does not actually solve any problem for the consumer. Only manufacturers and cell phone companies.allan kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06262139490250478379noreply@blogger.com
