PURE ONE Classic, Portable DAB/FM Radio - Black

Product Information

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. 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. BBC Local and Nations radio services on DAB digital radio are transmitted by commercial broadcasting operators. In some areas there is not yet a local DAB service on air, so not every BBC station is currently available on this platform. This is because the BBC's digital multiplex is already used to full capacity for BBC Network services. If you find water damage then it is likely that the cable will need replacing by a qualified aerial installer.

Only homes still using SD-only Freesat and Sky satellite boxes will be seeing the red on-screen message - and these boxes will need to be upgraded to continue watching BBC channels. The ‘channel closed’ message will remain in place for a limited time thereafter, as will our help scheme resources. Nevertheless, we are urging impacted homes to take action now to avoid disappointment and loss of any BBC channels. 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. Obstructions between the aerial and transmitter can cause problems. Trees are the most common obstructions. They can affect the signal. This can be greater at different times of the year (when there are more leaves), when wet or in high winds. A faulty or uncompressed engine can cause a distinct buzzing 'whine' which varies with engine speed - motorcycles tend to be the worst. Try to move your radio away from the street or use an external aerial.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.

Some hi-fi’s have external AM aerials that tend to look like many wires wound around a plastic loop. This needs to be rotated to find the best signal. 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. 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.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. There might be a possibility to extend the Kingdom breakfast show to the Dundee and Perth "Original" transmitters to make it sound a wee bit more local. The current output on 102 and 106.6 is very Aberdeeny - which works really well for Aberdeen but not so much for Tayside. Demand for our help scheme resources that launched in March this year has been much lower than expected and we believe the number of homes still using SD-only satellite equipment is now far lower than anticipated. Following the introduction of red on-screen messaging in September, we are now in the final stages of migrating those remaining SD-only satellite homes on to HD-enabled devices. As such, to offer best value for money for all licence-fee payers, we are bringing the channel closure date slightly forward.

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 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 If you continue to have problems, consider the use of an Aerial installer. We cannot recommend individual Installers. However, the CAI ( Confederation of Aerial Industries ) is a recognised trade body that will be able to put you in touch with one of its members in your area. 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. 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.

AM reception can vary a great deal from day to night because of differences in the atmosphere. You may get good, clear reception during the day, but after sunset the signal may fade or become distorted. This is why you can often hear radio stations from outside the UK at night. Our information on how clear skies and fine weather can affect your radio receptionmay be useful, please see our Weather Guide. 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. 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.Martin Ingram mentions Fife at times on his mid morning show. Even though hes also broadcasting on Original. A signal amplifier should only be used as a last resort when the televisionsignal is weak. Even the best amplifier will still add some noise to the television signal it is amplifying/boosting that could result in picture break up. A good amplifier should have a filter built in that only allows the signal you want to be boosted and not any unwanted signals. Otherwise, all the unwanted signals will also be boosted, which can causepictures to break up. If you are experiencing pixellation or picture break up, it may be that your signal is too strong as this often presents itself similarly to a weak signal. This is likely to happen if you live close to a transmitter. It may be necessary on occasion to perform a factory reset if the channels are not found after a full scan.
