Pure Digital Highway IN-CAR DAB Tuner

Originally I am from London, but I have been living in Bournemouth now since 2001. I get home-sick every so often - you know being surrounded by the beach, grass and the sea makes me miss all the pollution ridden dirty grey concrete streets of home. Odd I know. One thing that keeps me going is that I can quite happily recieve my favourite London radio station, Absolute (previously Virgin) on MW - but it's not great quality I'll admit. So, when ...
...Absolute radio who were running competitions to win them, and after failing to win one myself, I thought - OK, I'll buy one. Now, it is pretty easy to use, and it has functions similar to the digital channels on TV now where you can pause and rewind live radio - which I haven't used except through boredom when waiting for the kid to finish school. Like I say, easy to use. Much like a Sat Nav you can take it in and out of the car and you stick it ...

Review of Pure Digital Highway IN-CAR DAB Tuner

...so I went for a Pure Highway, as previously stated these take up more space on the windscreen with cables everywhere. I came up with the solution of fitting it into my centre console armrest, out of sight, open the cover to change channels, luckily my armrest has a 12V socket & a Aux in so I don't have to use the FM transmitter. Unfortunately the aerial cable was too short so I bought a 2.5mm connector 2m extension cable off e-bay. I tried the windscreen ...
...had 99.99% success rate the pure is more like 75% tbh, often dropping signal in built up areas, I've now ordered an external aerial in the hope that will improve mattersas it could be down to the windows in the Avensis blocking the signal. Great bit of kit, take your time installing it especially if you don't want cables everywhere. Also I did read somewhere not to plug/unplug the aerial while powered on as it has been reported that it could damage ...

Review of Pure Digital Highway IN-CAR DAB Tuner

I use the Pure Highway every day in my truck and I have to say it is brilliant. It tunes into a spare FM band on my in cab radio and sounds first class. It is so easy to use and looks great as well. The Pure Highway fits into a small space on my windscreen out of the wiper swipe and keeps me legal. The Highway takes its power from the cigarette lighter and has an internal Arial that is fixed to the windscreen. I found this system ok for most journeys ...
...from digital drop out. The pure allows you to fade this rather than here that awful screeching sound. I eventually purchased an outside Arial that fits on the cab roof via a magnetic base. This allows me 100% coverage all over the UK so far. I rely on my Pure Highway every day and I have to say it has never let me down. The Highway also has an external input and an external output meaning you can plug an ipod into it and use it to listen through ...
