Hi Jackie, Yes, what you say of course is true, and if it were just that I'd not be too bothered, and I guess I'm not really anyway, as it's mostly the DAB stations I listen to, but the problem with FM is that when I plug in headphones [which is the way I listen most] some stations just break up, even radio 1 that has a strong signal switches between mono and stereo, and breaks up. I'm not a radio 1 listener, so again not too bothered, but my own BBC local station is very poor when using headphones! - Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackie Cairns" <cairnsplace@xxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Saturday, February 09, 2008 6:21 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: The pure move DAB radio | Hi Andy | | The mono signal that comes through the speaker on the Pure Move radio | removes hiss, so you get a better signal. But when you plug your headphones | in, the signal becomes stereo, therefore bringing in hiss. A radio has to | have a very strong signal not to hiss in stereo. | | Overall, my opinion of DAB radios that accommodate FM is that they aren't as | good as proper FM sets. The Pure Move is the best of those I've seen and | used, but you do get digital interference from the computer processor. | | I hope this makes sense and helps answer your question. | | Jackie | | Email: cairnsplace@xxxxxxx | Skype Name: Cairnsplace | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Andy Collins" <andy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> | To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> | Sent: Saturday, February 09, 2008 5:42 PM | Subject: [access-uk] The pure move DAB radio | | | > Hi all | > | > Does this happen to other users I wonder?
