How to Choose a Roberts DAB Clock Radio

What is DAB and what does it stand for? DAB stands for Digital Audio Broadcasting and like TV offers you digital radio channels. This means that you will get extra digital channels, experience less hiss and interference and be able to pause and rewind live radio. You can also find this format in Clock radios (DAB Clock radios) which companies such as Roberts produce.

Before purchasing a Roberts Clock radio you might want to spend a few minutes just thinking about what you want.

Roberts Clock radios come with the basic features such as the ability to set up your favourite stations as presets and a digital display that shows you which radio station is playing. If you are going to want your radio to be portable then check before you buy that it comes with the ability to run off batteries and if you want to put it through your hi-fi then make sure that it has audio outputs so that you can connect it up.

Before you go and rush out and buy your Roberts Clock radio, check that DAB is available in your area and what stations you will get. DAB is reportedly available to 80% of the UK and if you need further information then visit the BBC receptions site which explains how to receive DAB. If unfortunately you find that you don’t have DAB in your area then for the time being if you have a TV with one of the digital TV companies then you can get digital radio services through that or you will have to continue listening to FM.
