Pure Highway - Pure Magic   Review Date: February 5, 2008 Reviewer: David Murray, Galston Fantastic piece of kit, really well designed, superb full sound. Planet Rock and the Arrow fill the car, even mono stations like Talksport are well presented. I've been a fan of DAB for ages and to get it in the car where I spend a lot of time is a great leap forward. I've yet to experience any drop off of signal when travelling. Brilliant!!! Decent DAB in the car   Review Date: August 3, 2008 Reviewer: Simplywhite, London, UK I got this for my birthday in April, and its first outing was my journey home from the Lake District to London. I had the aerial bluetacked to the dashboard as I didn't know where I wanted it and the reception was great all the way home apart fom a short section near Birmingham. I didn't bother with the windscreen holder, I bought a cheap USB lead to power it and use velcro to stick it on the dashboard where I can easily reach it to change channels. The sound is great, I'd really recommend it. Great product pity about after sales   Review Date: April 23, 2008 Reviewer: The dadster, uk The product itself is great however the window mounted holder broke within a week of me receiving the radio as a gift. I phoned Pure who had no concept of customer service nor the fact that ultimately the problem lay with them. I have never spoken to such clueless charismatically challenged people in my life. Fortunately Amazon's customer service is excellent and have provided me with a a replacement within 24 hours, excellent. Pure Highway review Northern Ireland based   Review Date: April 11, 2009 Reviewer: Woosh, Northern Ireland This does whats it is supposed to do yes there are signal drop outs however in general I give it 9/10. The only thing is DONT stick the antenna to the windscreen. Stick it to a clear ruler or something similar this can them be moved for best reception. I jammed mine at the top of the windscreen just under the lip of the headcloth for best reception and the ruler keeps the small flexible parts straight and supports them. The best bit of technology I've bought in years   Review Date: September 3, 2008 Reviewer: A. Glover, Portsmouth I bought this little gadget in July this year for my birthday in August (prezzie from daughters) and having read the reviews thought I had a 50-50 chance of it being worthwhile. This is as much down to my own jaded cycnicism on new gadgets, such as my iPOD Classic which is barely audible due to some apparent but unlisted EU legislation on volume controls! Secondly getting decent DAB coverage in my house is also a major challenge with very sporadic pockets of average coverage and huge rafts of no coverage at all. So I was delighted on a number of points in regard to this device. First, it was as easy to fit as they stated, taking around 5 minutes and being very easy to tuck away the aerial cable - Pure even supply some little sticky cable clips to help! Then the set up took less than 30 seconds. Simply press Quick-scan and tune to the displayed FM frequency and away you go. What's more I drive from Petersfield to Newbury daily on a very rural cross country route and the signal drops for about 30 seconds in a low lying village and that's it! I get decent broadcast even with one signal bar displayed and for a 47 mile journey no need to change the FM frequency. That in itself seems unusually good. I agree about the single use aerial, but spent another £24.99 on a car kit to allow it to be used in both cars, with equally good results. Setting the presets is also a doodle, the manual being clear and written in plain easy to follow English. All in all, very easy to install and use with , for me, astoundingly good results. Highly recommended gadget and hats off to Pure for continuing to produce gtreat DAB receivers. Planet Rock all the way. As another reviewer said...what are the other presets for :-)
