PURE ONE Classic, Portable DAB/FM Radio - Black

Product Information

Depending on the specific tunnel and station, Radio reception can cut out or be lost when driving through tunnels. If the tunnel is deep, the radio waves will not reach into the centre, so your radio cuts out. Some tunnelsare fitted with signal distribution systems both for FM and DAB so the signal will not be lost while in the tunnel. Or it could be “To help maintain the radio signals within the tunnel” Tuning In most circumstances the supplied telescopic aerial should be perfectly adequate, and as a rule of thumb DAB aerials tend to work best when vertical and extended at least 35 cm. If your radio reception is poorthen you could consideran external aerial for best reception quality. Even in good areas an external aerial will guarantee optimum performanceand will also ensure consistent listening quality. BBC Nations radio services on DAB are transmitted by commercial multiplex operators. This is because the BBC own DAB multiplex is used to its full capacity for network radio services. If you find water damage then it is likely that the cable will need replacing by a qualified aerial installer. The best place to put a DAB aerial is on the roof of the car and as far from the engine as possible, to avoid any interference.

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.

If you suffer from reception problems in the evening, this suggests that the signal getting to your television is not quite strong enough. Changes in the weather, temperature or atmospheric pressure can cause an already poor signal to break up or be lost. Six C (R14) batteries or ChargePAK C6L (not supplied). At normal listening levels alkaline batteries provide up top 70 hours, and ChargePAK C6L provides approximately 35 hours of portable DAB listening per charge. Water can get into external cables and can cause reception problems. To rule this out see our guide on water damage to cables. In simplistic terms, the size of the MW/LW wavelength is bigger than the radius of the entrance and struggles to reach into the tunnel or under the bridge. FM wavelengths are smaller so can usually reach in further by bouncing along the tunnel walls before they lose too much power

The telescopic aerial fitted to stereo portables is a compromise and the radio will often only give really good results if connected to an external aerial. If that’s not possible, switch to mono as it will usually sound better. Some sets do this automatically. To enable the launch of the HD versions of our channels on satellite, we have had to switch off all the standard definition (SD) versions of BBC One. This has only impacted viewers who use an SD-only satellite set-top box (Freesat or Sky) to receive their TV. Freeview viewers will not have been impacted and do not need to upgrade any equipment. For satellite viewers, our help scheme is ready to assist with the transition to HD at www.hdsatelliteupgrade.co.uk. It contains all the information about the changes, the dates when individual HD regions were switched on, and also has details on eligibility for support to help you upgrade your set-top box to HD. These split the TV signal from a single aerial and allow the signal to be sent to several different televisions in the building.Stereo digital radio with full Band III, L-Band and FM reception. ETS 300 401 compliant and capable of decoding all DAB transmission modes 1-4 up to and including 192 kbps. Supports FM RDS and RadioText. Future upgrade supported for DAB+. This often sounds like birds tweeting and happens if there is another frequency being transmitted near the one you are listening to. This can commonly be caused by high pressure when,during fine weather, radio signals can travel much further than normal. These signals can be both UK and foreign stations. There is nothing that can be done and the problem will go away when the weather changes. Hissing and fading

I like a station that can still have local or regional news weather and traffic news though out the day and early evening. There are all kinds of aerials available on the market and some which are specific to certain frequencies. A wideband aerial is a popular choice, although there are other aerials available. A qualified aerial installer with local knowledge will be able to advise further. Research by Ofcom and the Radiocentre found that where the presenters are is less important than local news. Rules have changed so there is no need for local presenters and local presentation is not cost viable, but the Original presenters could mention Dundee and Perth more along with Aberdeen?Some amplifiersare a mix of the above. For example, some masthead amplifiers are also distribution amplifiers. Some can also combine television and FM radio signals.

Many people are now using low power LED lights instead of the more traditional varieties. However, if the original light used a transformer rather than directly running off the mains, it is possible the transformer is causing the interference. This is because the transformer would have been designed to operate at the higher power and not the lower power the LED lights use. This has the potential to cause electrical interference. From chromed controls and smooth curves to a tactile soft-touch finish, the Pure ONE Elite has a touch of class. Quality and style has never been this affordable. If you haven't experienced DAB digital radio yet, you're in for a treat. There's more station choice, easy station selection, extra information on the display and crisp, clear digital-quality sound. Other examples of obstructions are newly built property nearby, or construction equipment, like a crane. If obstructions are too problematic to overcome and/or permanent, you might want to investigate if you can reposition your aerial and retune to a different transmitter. Another solution would be using another way of receiving services, like Freesat for example. An externally mounted aerial can be attached to many types of DAB portable radio and hi-fi systems. DAB aerials are different from FM or TV aerials, so you need a good quality DAB-specific aerial.An indoor aerial may be good enough, but for the best reception use an outdoor one. Ideally, this shouldbe on the roofor high up on the outside of the building, though it may also give good results in the loft. If you are using a Hi-Fituner and stereo reception is hissy, but mono is fine, your aerial may not be powerful enough. You may need to consider a loft or external aerial to solve your reception problem. WeatherIf 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. If you have an external aerial, a radio signal will always lose some of its strength as it passes along the cable and through the connectors. It is important to minimise the loss by using good quality cable and connectors. 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. If your car radio is showing no signal or no service for a station you usually receive, this could be down to one of the following things:
