We have a 'Pure' around £50.00 that is easy enough to use. You can't use the digital outside the UK though .
I would receommend them as when we had a problem with ours after 18 months we got a free replacement. Apparently (and I didn't even know) they come with a two year warranty as standard.
I asked the question last year and was warned to be careful if using in a caravan as reception is dulled due to being in a tin box, he put it a little more technical than that lol.
WE find that reception is impaired when we pull the blinds down at night. We then switch to FM. I am yet to be convinced of the quality of digital over FM. I have a Genus digital/fm radio, and where there are good signals I cannot tell the difference in sound quality between the two
The TEAC R-3W works on 12v, is DAB & FM, also has an auxillary input for mp3's or CD players.

Is it worth getting a rechargeable one? I hear they can wear out batteries quicker than a conventional FM radio.
The TEAC R3 has a built in rechargable battery.

We have a Roberts radio and it has fm too... Great radio.. The Dab side of it does cane off the batteries in any radio. You only get so many hours when using Dab before they drain the batteries flat. Buy a power pack and run it from that..
