image of receiver

This little receiver created quite a stir when it went on sale in Switzerland as the Microspot RA318. It's small, light and has quite a sensitive tuner and a really useful signal strength meter. It's now back in stock at oo.com.au. What's more, it's currently being sold at the lower price of $49.95. An external power adaptor is supplied for AC operation. Otherwise, the radio uses four AA-size batteries.

Want to know
how it works?

image of book

Apart from the DAB specification itself, this is the closest thing to a DAB Bible that you will find. The book is now in its third edition and has been updated to include recent developments such as DMB and DAB+. Digicomparison's Digital Radio page offers more reading suggestions about various digital radio systems, including DAB.

The laws of physics!

image of antenna

The laws of physics don't change just because it's "digital". Whether you're receiving DAB or DMB, indoors or outdoors, the only way to ensure good reliable reception is to feed your receiver with a good signal. If you're using a small portable receiver with a telescopic antenna, then your options are limited. You'll need to find the position in your home that produces the strongest signal. Your home is a breeding ground for clicks and splats. Most refrigerators, freezers, airconditioning units, water heaters, washing machines, etc. can produce substantial amounts of radio interference as they switch themselves on an off. But if you have a receiver with a socket for an antenna, then resist the temptation to connect it to a wire coat hanger and get yourself a good outdoor antenna. Not only will you find a stronger signal up there, but it will be further away from the sources of all those nasty "splats".
