and a clear white-on-blue display. Scrolling text shows additional data such as song titles artists names programme descriptions news headlines and more. The DAB transmission standard provides high-quality interference-free digital audio without the hiss crackle and fade of AM/FM broadcasts. 4 easy to set alarms mean you can have different alarms for you and your other half different alarm settings weekdays or weekends when you want a lie-in or set a backup alarm just in case you sleep through the first. Alarms can be set to different stations or to a simple alarm tone and alarm volume set independently of main radio volume. The handle also doubles-up as a snooze button for that ?5 minutes more? and to light up the display. The USB connector lets you to download software upgrades from an internet connected PC enabling the Tempus-1 S to support future updates to the DAB service. * The Pure Tempus-1 S

A very good DAB clock radio, allows you to set a weekday or weekend alarm, stylish snooze handle and clear time display, great sound quality and good DAB reciver - more expencive than other but worth every penny! Good extending ariel also allows use in more rural areas, has no FM/AM tuner although this is not really a disadvantage as most traditional stations also broadcast on DAB. The clock raido function is also very smooth and automaticaly swithces to buzzer if no DAb signal can be found. Local radio stations both comercial and BBC can suffer from a poor signal even in cities this can be remidied by extending the areil that comes with this radio. All in all a very good buy for the home easy to use
Advantages: stylish, simple, clever extra features Disadvantages: Can't take it with me everywhere!
...PureTempus-1 DAB Digital Radio
Plug it in and it does the rest, it automatically finds the stations and tells you all about them with scrolling text on the LCD screen. Information that be accessed includes the station name, frequency, signal quality and a text summary of the current programme.
The main attraction of DAB radio to us was no static and the digital only channels such as BBC Radio 7 (comedy and stories), Passion FM (world music plus environmental ‘tit bits’). We have not been disappointed with these.
The sound from the radio is excellent, not at all ‘tinny’ for such a small radio. Reception is generally All or Nothing and you can check how your local area is served by digital radio at http://www.pure-digital.com/ by typing in your post code. They will tell you which stations you will be able to receive...

Advantages: PURE DIGITAL SOUND Disadvantages: I WISH IT WAS PORTABLE
...I have been living with my PureDigitalTempus1 now for about a year and it's wonderful. The sound quality is just great and I am always amazed that all that sound can come from just one small speaker. It has enabled me to listen to a large number of MW/LW stations with a new quality of sound that I could only have once listened to with a slightly muffled sound or not at all. Now I can fall asleep with luxury.
The Tempus is a Digital DAB radio but with the added advantage of it being an clock radio.
The Tempus measures 210 mm width x 175 mm height x 110 mm depth.and has a lovely light wood surround case, this I have been told is to give a much better quality sound (please let me know if I have got that wrong) and a silver coloured front with a silver handle for easy carrying this handle also doubles as a snooze handle...

Advantages: Great alarm function, Snoozehandle Disadvantages: None really
...My experience with a Pure DAB radio was so good, I bought another as a present for my daughter. I finds she uses hers all the time in preference to other radios in the house.
Firstly, its pleasant to look at. Secondly, it always has the right time, even when the clocks change. Thirdly, the Snoozehandle is the best feature: you can reach out, half asleep, bat the handle with one dozy finger, and it tells you the time without having to switch the radio on. Fourthly, its simple to use - ok, so I got an friend to program the stations for me as I have no patience, but he had no trouble with it at all. The instructions that come with it are simple. The radio does what it says on the tin - it sounds good, has loads of stations, and a display to tell you what they are, and it has an alarm function that will awake you Monday to Friday...
