Pure Highway

+ Easy to use and set up.

- Very variable reception. Often poor even on channels where I normally have no problem with analogue signals. Seemingly limited number of stations available on tune-in. A friend, for example, mentions stations he can get that I can't, even though we are only a couple of hundred yards away from each other.

+ Radio was what i wanted,at a good price

- none

+ Quite easy to set up. The FM link to a standard radio works well.

- The supplied interior windscreen aerial is hopeless in my area, although indoor DAB radios work fine. It needs an exterior DAB car aerial, but the 2.5mm mini stereo jack connector used on the highway is not a standard aerial connector type so fitting one is going to involve soldering. This is a total pain - the product should be designed to accept a standard DAB aerial fitting. Also the only mounting option supplied is a suction mount windscreen type - whilst this is good there should be a mount supplied to fit the product to the dashboard as well.

+ good sound, easy to use, and an attractive design.

- when tuned in to digital radio the batteries do not last very long.

good value for money when compared with other products of different makes

+ Good value for money and stylish

Very good quality product, would purchase same brand on other occasions.

+ Great idea, and when it worked the sound quality is very good.

- Out of signal more often than it's in. The dashboard mount is VERY poor quality, and amounts to a piece of thick wire that is hard to change. Plastic fitting was broken in seconds, causing the unit to drop off the dash all the time. Not keen on having so many wires all over the place either...it needs a li-ion battery that could be used (like modern sat-nav units) so less need to have the cable to the power outlet. Great concept - maybe the MkII version will hit the mark better.

+ Well designed, easy set up, clear FM transmission, strong mount onto windscreen

- Reception on DAB was fine when car stationary. However as soon as the vehicle was moving the DAB reception, on anything other than BBC stations, was very poor and unlistenable to. This is in a major conurbation where DAB reception is very good. The item was returned for a refund as I was unable to listen to the stations that I wanted to.

+ Good looking & easy to set-up & use.

- Batteries were very difficult to fit.

A good looking radio at a good price.

+ Good value Easy to set up

- No alarm function

+ Excellent sound quality and ease of use and at a special price.

- Slightly dated design

+ Excellant sound Very easy to use

- Cost

+ Clear display. Easy to adjust FM broadcast frequency. Preset stations easy to change.

- A few too many wires. They make your car quite a mess. An antenna would be better rather than the cable that attaches to the windscreen.

+ Brilliant bit of kit. I had a Revo before and this little diamond knocks spots of the Revo. I drive a truck and get almost perfect reception all over the country where as the Revo struggled. Thanks Pure DAB.

- None

+ Sound quality, good looking, reasonably small size.

- presets 4 to 20 fiddly to get to.

+ acces to mw stations that broadcast on dab

- bad coverage in parts of hertfordshire and virtually none in suffolk having to retune the fm signal as the airwaves are very crowded and there are few gaps to fit in the signal from the highway to the car radio aerial not available as a spare part so that it can be easily replaced when car sold or when using unit in another car

+ Ease of use and reception

- None

+ Pretty easy to install and use

- Not so easy to retune when travelling long distances

+ easy to install

- absolutely terrible reception constantly crackling and breaking up we have gone back to listening the normal radio as the digital one is a complete waste of time

+ Great Idea

- Signal coverage very poor, constantly in and out of reception even in built up areas eg, Brighton, Exeter, Exmouth, Manchester.

+ Works as described once up and running.

- Arial not reusable. Need to retune to different FM signal when driving.

+ Fabulous design and clear screen

- Poor and varying reception and more importantly because of the fix for once aerial we cannot transfer it between both of our cars

+ Easy to install easy to use, great product for getting DAB radio into your car.

- Does not work well if using sat nav too. Reception still not clear on 5Live.

+ Easy to fit, the unit looks pretty fine & is easy to operate.

- the window mounting is a bit agricultural so I tried stashing the unit in the glove box with all the wires hidden behind the dash but reception was a bit iffy

+ I can still listen to my favourite radio stations when on the move so I now no longer need to record to listen to later. It was very easy to install in the car.

- Sometimes the reception (in Kent) is sometimes intermittent. It is however very good in London/Surrey and Berkshire areas. The car power adaptor is prone to getting knocked on my vehicle being just forward of the gear lever I may ask Pure if they have a different design available for my car.

+ Fm transmit range 87.6 to 107.9 DAB autoscan

- Unable to stay with radio station (ie,CHILL) when moving from one local multiplex to the next (Highway- Does not continuously scan all frequences for same station- which may have better reception) Too much HISS when playback of MP3 when using AUX input (compared to my previous FM sender) Suction pad TOO large and Flexi arm TOO short. Replacement AERIAL not availiable from pure online shop! DAB reception in general is POOR, UNTIL RPC5 power upgrades to most transmitters is implemented so the use of HIGHWAY will be limited to on Strong Signal areas. 90% of population = ONLY 50% of landarea , I find myself switching to FM which is always better.

+ great sound

- conections could be better, leads bounce out on rough roads.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Too many messy leads. This was not clear at time of purchase or I never would have bought it!!!!!

+ Very simple to operate. Good clear reception.

+ I can,t really fault this Radio,apart from sometimes it won,t go into Digital Station,possibly area we live in,

- As an older member of the community,I found it was that easy to understand,whilst trying to tune in to other stations, and still have,nt managed. A helpfull call center or similar would be useful.

+ Reviewer left no comment

- At the time of this eMail I have still NOT received the goods.

+ easy to fit in the car,portable can be used on its on,small,easy to set up,light.

- sometimes on the move reception can be patchy.

+ I can listen to BBC 1 extra all the time now

- Sometimes hard to tune in.

+ Easy to set up and use. Good long wires means I can install the unit and hide the wiring inside the car trim. Nice display. Good reception on the car stereo in comparison to other broadcasting devices I've tried.

- Can be fiddly to change things when driving...probably best not to!

+ easey to use ,good display.

- bad recepction, on talk sport which is why I bought it.

+ 6 music and clear Talk Sport

- Poor reception in certain parts of Scotland

+ good sound quality when you have a signal, check area...

- dial a bit fiddly when using in the car, screen small when mounted on the dash.

+ The product is easy to use.

- Poor reception within 15 mile radius of where i live and poor reception inland.

+ Easily installed,

- No protective case. Faults occurred on first 2 purchased they was replaced free of charge however had to return it & was without for several days.

+ the wide-ranging facility it offers as providing access to DAB

- leads and wires trailing not too sightly having to be stuck on the windscreen having to re-tune between areas whilst driving - presumably to pick up the nearest signal????

+ Easy and quick to install

- Not always great signal and for multiple moving from mount ( ie working in a rough area at night 3 times a week) magnet on back not really attached strongly enough on back of casing.

+ simple to install and set up

- magnetic mount on back of unit comes unstuck in hot weather,would be better if there was a bluetooth option on the reciever.

+ Extra stations and AM stations available on dab.

- Cable clutter and you only get 1 chance to position the ariel.

+ Ability to use out of car with headphones as a personal radio.

- Only one chance to affix the aerial to the windscreen; inability to run off batteries in-car.

+ Purchased so I could play my MP3 through it. Radio quite good

- Reception not great (Fair bit of hissing) more noticable when I connect the MP3. Self adhesive aerial fixture. Good unless you have to get your windscreen replaced.

+ Being able to listen to BBC 7 and other stations not available on FM in the car plus good reception for Radio 5 compared with that of AM. Reception excellent.

- Break through from FM stations when it chooses a frequency to broadcast on that is rather too close to that of an FM station.

+ easy to install. good quality sound

- not much of a display compared to normal DAB radio

+ Fantastic value for money - having a Ford car would have had to ruin my dashboard to put in a dgital due to unique shape of Ford's incar audio so this is the perfect solution.

- Reception can dip for apparently no reason.

+ none

- Reviewer left no comment

+ I can get the stations I like to listen to. Sound quality is excellent. Surpasses FM reception. Simple to install and set up. Can use it as a walk-around radio unit with headphones.

- I keep having to retune the FM frequency to avoid interferance. I travel all around the UK and there are a lot of blank places.

+ Works well when reception is good

- Driving around, reception is erratic, despite trying different aerial locations

+ Reviewer left no comment

- Leads everywhere in the car very untidy, Cuts out completely very often when in a dip. Huge disappointment I don't bother to use it any more. Because it fits to the windscreen you have to take it off and disconnect every time, extremely fiddly.

+ Simple to install and use. Good sound quality

- no auto scan function for available stations

+ Ease of set up and use 'Dual purpose' car and portabale

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Its easy to install and use

- Aerial supplied is not very good should be able to upgrade to an external one to improve overall reception

+ all the advantages of digital radio

- poor reception i am lorry driver and if i go anywere near coast you lose reception i would say medium wave has better reception

+ It works

- Airial lets it down. Display is not intuative. It's too easy to change away from the FM transmitting frequency

+ Easy, intuitive, instruction manual unneccessary. Doubles as battery operated stand-alone. Superb with good signal. Didn't know my cassette radio sounded so good!

- Irritating drop-outs when entering lo-broadcast zones (assuming that you're driving and that you have the "mute when no signal" option set, otherwise: "irritating burbling" ditto.).

+ It is very easy to set up and use

- Depends on area coverage of reception

+ everything

- nothing

+ Nice design, fairly fir-for purpose WITHIN GOOD DAB COB=VERAGE AREA ONLY (i.e. for vehicles travelling WELL WITHIN London central areas)

- Not suitable for DAB reception in traffic zones from 3 onwards, let alone further than Zone 4

+ Easy to fit. compact. reasonable price.

- difficult to operate whilst car in motion.

+ Slim design means good for work tops etc. Easy to use and set up

- None really. Sound quality not exceptional but good for size and portability of radio.

+ Its a nice design and very clever

- The reception is terrible, and its very dangerous to change the channel while driving.

+ easy to install.took me about 90 seconds. brilliant sound quality.and portable.

- everybody wants to borrow it.

+ Nice sleek design, excellent sound quality, sleep function a bonus

- Reviewer left no comment

+ sound quality excellent

- Travelling from Stirling to Inverness at first the quality of sound & reception were very good until I reached north of Perth, after which I could not get any reception until about 10 miles south of Inverness.

+ Very good for plying MP3 through.

- When unit is on windscreen mount the vibration is irritating. Aerial mounting is a little "Heath Robinson". Signal lost frequently according to local topography.

+ Design of the Highway is excellent. It is easy to use and reception is good in large conurbations.

- Reception a little shaky in the countryside and the aerial is a little flimsy. It may have helped if the aerial cable could have been detached from the screen mounted aerial when not in use.

+ Fanastic sound quality

- Will single handedly cause global warming from cause the battery usage for away from the car is horrendous. If our using most of the time in car then buy it. If you want a personal DAB get sommat else!

+ It's one of the first of it's kind, and it allows me to listen to my favourite radio stations. I travel 2hrs to work, and i can travel the whole distance without having to keep changing channels, unlike fm radio.

- i struggle to hide the wires which make my car look messy! The magnet came off the back, so it can't be mounted to the cradle. The magnet is not a good idea to attach it to the cradle

+ cheap way of getting dab in the car

- ease of use when driving

+ Access (albeit sporadic) to many different & interesting radio stations

- No means of connecting device to car radio (whole purpose!!!). When this device was purchased (top end of mkt product) only mono sound received. Coupled with lousy reception, this is a poor deal.

+ An excellent product. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

- Reviewer left no comment

+ Everything. I bought this purely to listen to planet rock in the car, was easy to fit and tune it and I am so glad i bought it - worth every penny.

- FM drops out now and again (it broadcasts itself to your car radio via fm) however as my car has an aux jack I have plugged in there and not had a problem since.

+ Good build quality, good reception and sound quality, has been reliable.

- The case is a strange shape to carry, but ideal when clipped to the windscreen mount. Battery life not so great.

+ Works on both battery and mains.

- None to date
