The Aves Air packs the: at the office of the DAB reception is very good and no dropouts, although only the short headphone cord as an antenna is used (and is also still moving). Mission accomplished!
In DAB program offer also WDR 5 is now represented, that's good. The local local stations lack all, they will not be broadcast digitally. So no wonder that the normal person does not buy a digital radio.
The Aves Air is easy to operate. The date / time indicator turns automatically after 1 minute digital reception. It can be started a channel scan, or frequencies can be selected individually. Additional information such as data rate, signal quality, Radio Text can call at the push jerk. Analog FM reception shines with RDS, also is helpful.
Two criticisms: the gradual volume setting is too coarse straight at my personal favorite volume level between 6 and 7 something, say, either just a little too quiet or too loud. And: The case has back and forward buttons to a kind of soft rubber impression, that's ok. But in the upper and lower thirds of the front, ie outside of buttons, the surface is kept shining through a film. The film scratched very quickly, what looks shabby from nearby. At first I thought it was a protective film which can be removed, but no, it is part of the housing.
Addendum of 02/01/2014: As one commentator has pointed out that it should nevertheless be a protector. And so it is: if you stubbornly knibbelt at a corner with a fingernail, you can pull the two slides easily. They have been applied very precisely - and were badly scratched after a few weeks use, because the film itself is quite soft.
Tip: You can also connect one of these Aktivlautsprecherchen for smartphones, then you can listen without headphones.
Toll is the use of 2 Micron batteries. I use white Eneloops which hold about 5 hours of play time.
