Another receiver/meter is needed to check DAB reception where you are before blaming Pure. It varies by area from piss weak to so strong that you don't even need to extend the aerial.
I even removed the fixed antenna from my Pure Oasis for neat's sake.
I'm not saying its all Pure's fault and no-one else's, but if Pure can't make a radio which functions in a reasonably well populated part of the UK, then they need to be upping the spec of their receivers, or making them with big warnings on the box saying "this radio will only work in half the UK" I don't live anywhere obscure or particularly rural, its about 5 miles North of Portsmouth, hardly out in the sticks. Basically, Pure have supplied me with a radio which not only had instructions which made no sense, referring to non-existent buttons (well actually that was the online manual, because the enclosed slip of paper really was utterly useless, and in tiny print), but didn't work. The ability to attach a "proper" aerial might be handy!
On the occasions I managed to get it to pick up a signal (this was on the first floor of my home, traditionally expected to get a better signal than ground floor), the sound was rather "boxy", and its user interface is poor, requiring me to press 3 buttons in the correct time spacing, to change stations. The display is lovely, with not a blue LED in sight, just a soft white display against a black background (made of a very statically charged plastic, which attracted cat hairs from yards away).
Its back to my 20 year old Sony, which has a brilliant user interface, and sounds OK, and actually works, albeit in FM and AM only. if I want to listen to DAB stations, I'll have to switch on the router and the amp, and the Sonos, and do it via internet radio instead. I shan't be trying DAB again anytime soon.
