PURE ONE Classic, Portable DAB/FM Radio - Black

Product Information

If you find water damage then it is likely that the cable will need replacing by a qualified aerial installer. 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. |This normally happens in the summer months, due to high pressure weather conditions in the atmosphere, allowing radio signals to travel further.The cause is an atmospheric effect known as Sporadic-Eand can last from a few seconds up to an hour or more. You need to have a suitable DAB aerial to receive DAB services.Portable DAB radios will usually have a telescopicone,but if you are retro-fitting a DAB radio into a car, you may need to add a DAB aerial. 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.

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. To find out if a particular switch is causing the problem, try turning the lights off one at a time. Pure Digital One Mini review One of the newest additions to the Pure range, the One Mini is a real fisherman’s friend of a radio, ideal for taking to the park or on holidayBBC 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. 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. A television signal will always lose some of its strength as it passes along the cable and through the connectors. Therefore it is important to minimise the loss by using good quality cable and connectors. 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.

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. This is commonly caused by the FM signals being bounced off objects or hillsides and reaching your radio by different paths. Its technical name is multipath distortion. It is often worst in hilly or heavily built-up areas. Indoor portables are especially susceptible. 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. FM radio signals can be affected by fine weather including high pressure and the only solution is to wait for the weather to change, you should not re-tune during this time. Our information on how clear skies and fine weather can affect your radio receptionmay be useful, please see our Weather Guide. Pirate Radio

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.If you have bought a new car, the DAB radio may be tuned to DAB stations in a different location. Delete thepresetsand re-tune to the services in your area. Weather-related problems tend to happen mainly in the summer, when high pressure can cause a radio signal to travel further than it would normally. Thisis known as tropospheric ducting. For more information see our guide on tropospheric ducting. 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 If there are no faults or engineering works showing up, use this Freeview troubleshooting guide to help solve the problem.

It may be necessary on occasion to perform a factory reset if the channels are not found after a full scan. Water can get into external cables and can cause reception problems. To rule this out see our guide on water damage to cables. The most common FM radio aerial on a portable radio is a telescopic one. To get the best reception extend the aerial fully and move the aerial and radio around until you get the best reception. If using a hi-fi with a wire aerial, again extend as much as possible to get the best signal. 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. I like a station that can still have local or regional news weather and traffic news though out the day and early evening.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. Resetting your DAB Radio removes all presets, stored stations and favourite stations and alarm/timer settings and resets all options to defaults. To reset: 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.
