The reception of DAB in my region is good, no crackling or other noise. For FM, however, there is already one or the other subtle noise that lies on VHF and not on the device. I use mostly anyway DAB. The device is small and handy. The sound is very good for such a small device for my taste. The volume is sufficient in a normal environment. I nutz it occasionally to work because there run but loud machines sometimes not enough the sound level. But is indeed evident in the noise. Home or in the garden brings the radio absolutely good quality in sufficient volume. The station selection is manageable, perhaps, there are also in my region not very many DAB stations, no idea. It is quite possible that this will vary from region to region. But Sputnik and Sunshine Live will receive super here, the rest are mostly local channels that exist in the FM.
So far, no errors or anything occurred. Only what Me Something is interfering with the antenna. It is mounted behind the unit and you can not align to the front so as the unit blocked yes this. Is not always necessary, but sometimes you just have to turn the antenna exactly in this direction. An antenna on the device, and thus the ability to align the antenna completely free, I would have preferred.
