PURE ONE Classic, Portable DAB/FM Radio - Black

Product Information

Sports Extra is a secondary DAB service of Radio 5 Live, and not always available on air. When the BBC has additional sports content, it can be found next to Radio 5 Live on DAB radio only.The 5Sports Extra schedule is available online. 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. 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

Pure One Mini review | What Hi-Fi? Pure One Mini review | What Hi-Fi?

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. Most FM car radios have a Radio Data System (RDS) built in. We use the RDS to ‘tell’ your radio if there is a better or stronger frequency for the radio service you are listening to, as you travel around. However, if you are using a frequency, you have preset and there is no radio service on that frequency in your location, then the RDS may not work. At that point you will need to tune your radio until you find a signal. Aerials Your television can sometimes receive signals from more than one transmitter, which may be transmitting different regional news. This is more likely to occur following a retune of your television. To ensure you are receiving the correct regional news programmes from the transmitter your aerial is pointing towards, you will need to do a manual retune. 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 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.As of the 4th June 2023, the new Bilsdale mast is now transmitting a full set of BBC television services. 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 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.

A radio which can tune to medium and long wave services usually hasan aerial built in, whichyou cannot see. As the aerial is directional, by simply turning the radio you will be able to get the best reception. AM does not use the telescopic aerial. 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. It may be necessary on occasion to perform a factory reset if the channels are not found after a full scan. These are not recommendedunless absolutely requiredas they can introduce unexpected reception problems. See our help guide on the different types of amplifiers available. 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.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. 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. I agree the presenters could mention Dundee and Perth a little more as they now broadcast to those areas also. 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.

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? If there are no faults or engineering works showing up, use this Freeview troubleshooting guide to help solve the problem. Radio This is similar to Radio 4 LW on DAB, which can be found next to Radio 4 on the list of stations. Radio 4 LWbroadcasts Yesterday in Parliament, along with the Daily Service each day. 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. If 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.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. If you find water damage then it is likely that the cable will need replacing by a qualified aerial installer.
