occasionally loses signal. My experience is this is common with digital devices as you get no degredation of signal like you do
with analogue.

We bought the radio for the kitchen and it fits nicely and looks good. Overall we are very please with it.

Unfortunately we are in a bad spot for reception - so sometimes its not so clear in FM Mode. As we listen to Southern Counties we have to use the FM mode so it would be great if this could be played on DAB. However, that is not the fault of the radio.
