This exact deal was posted last month, I really can't see the point of going round the same buoy from the Argos catalogue every month:

hotukdeals.com/dea…331

It reached 551 degrees last time.

Yawn...

You could have just ignored the posting you know.

Of course I know that, why did you think I did not?

Not sure why you chose to pick a fight over a wooden radio but there's loads of reposts on the site. Don't see anything wrong with it as it's helpful to those that missed out but can see it getting annoying.

If you're interested in karma farming, just save repeating deals and repost them (after a month). :relaxed:

I see you "liked" your own comment! I didn't know that was possible- I'll try it on mine...

EDIT: It's possible all right. This system is ripe for corruption!

Looks like a clone of the best selling Pure Evoke 2.

Minus the quality and high price.

Argos, get it back up now!!! :rage:

Not the best sound but for the price good value.. Bought a dab clock radio and this and regretted buying because of no earphone socket, my stupid fault.

This radio is not DAB+, which you need to pick up certain radio stations.

For 19.99 it doesn't matter if you've no intention of touring around europe with it, or can do without the measly 4 uk stations that currently use +. Should be ok for some time yet.

andreasuk to tightpants

14 Sep 17 #39

You can buy a 20 years old television and itll be all right for some time yet.
They are cheap i can assure you. Probably a lot cheaper than 19.99 :grin:

I got one of these Bush deals years ago from Argos & it had DAB+, there was nothing on the box or in the manual to say it had it. In fact there were probably no DAB+ broadcasts available then. It now tunes into Union Jack no problem.

Can anyone who has bought one of these recently confirm if they can receive Union Jack, Mellow Magic, Jazz FM & Fun Kids. This will confirm if it has DAB+.

tightpants to Hucknallred

14 Sep 17 #30

Bought last month. Can confirm definitely not DAB+.
Waiting for site to be back up, to buy another!

Gentle_Giant to tightpants

DAB and DAB+ are usually exactly the same chip set-up, but with different firmware*. I'd give it a few days to see if it gets a DAB+ firmware update.

* Since the UK didnt have DAB+ until recently, the robbing barstewards could restrict a universal DAB+ model to DAB only and sell it at a premium in the UK, while telling you DAB+ wouldnt work with DAB.

I dont have one, but my parents radio updated itself.

BTW, does this come treated for dry rot and woodworm??

tightpants to Gentle_Giant

15 Sep 17 #47

Would be great if that happens but had it a month - no Union Jack, No Jazz stations, still....No Dab+

Hucknallred to tightpants

15 Sep 17 #50

I'm still at a loss why no DAB+ on these. I got one 3 years ago that has it, despite no mention on the box or manual . There must be a way of making them compatible.

The DAB+ stations are on the same multiplex as the DAB stations Absolute 80s, Planet Rock & Kisstory amongst others. Can anyone check if they have these but no DAB+.
Why remove a feature that was there 3 years ago? It doesn't make sense.

I have this radio and can receive all except Union Jack.

Nice one OP I bought one for the kitchen last time it was up and i am very pleased with it For under £20 you really can't go wrong even if you did what is £20 now days. :sunglasses:

PS The website was playing up last night i think they where updating.
Its still down they said last night it would be back at 6AM must have problems with it hopefully its not been hacked.

I had one of these previously a while ago. Good clarity of sound and quite a bit of bass too. The build quality leaves a little to be desired with a lopsided display and clunky buttons. Also I returned mine cos despite good reception where I live the Bush radio would often break up the signal if I moved around the room. And the back battery door would vibrate at higher volumes. Get a DAB+ model don't waste your money

renard to Seanetta

14 Sep 17 #44

I've had one in my kitchen for a month now. No problems whatsoever. Receives all the major stations and many, many more. Simply cannot go wrong, a DAB / FM stereo radio for £20! Why say "Don't waste your money"?

Had one of these since January. Great sound and excellent value for money. Use it daily.

just picked one up this morning for myself and had to go back for another for my mum in law after she seen my one in kitchen bargain for £20

Grrrrrrrrrrr

16 Sep 17 #51

I bought one of these to use in the kitchen - it's receiver sensitivity is terrible. In the same location, a cheap Lidl/Aldi DAB radio(I forget which) works fine. As does a Pure Sonus DAB radio. Now this is in a city centre 2nd floor flat, not out in the sticks somewhere. So, if you don't have really good reception where you are - keep the packaging and be prepared to take it back. Probably not a good idea as a present for someone, unless you are pretty sure that there won't be a reception problem.

Picked one up today, quickly found stations and am really happy with it. Ideal kitchen radio...
