Pure Highway

Easy to use and set up.

Very variable reception. Often poor even on channels where I normally have no problem with analogue signals. Seemingly limited number of stations available on tune-in. A friend, for example, mentions stations he can get that I can't, even though we are only a couple of hundred yards away from each other.

Radio was what i wanted,at a good price

none

Quite easy to set up. The FM link to a standard radio works well.

The supplied interior windscreen aerial is hopeless in my area, although indoor DAB radios work fine. It needs an exterior DAB car aerial, but the 2.5mm mini stereo jack connector used on the highway is not a standard aerial connector type so fitting one is going to involve soldering. This is a total pain - the product should be designed to accept a standard DAB aerial fitting. Also the only mounting option supplied is a suction mount windscreen type - whilst this is good there should be a mount supplied to fit the product to the dashboard as well.

Good value for money and stylish

Very pleased with product

good sound, easy to use, and an attractive design.

when tuned in to digital radio the batteries do not last very long.

good value for money when compared with other products of different makes

Good design, easy to operate.

Very good quality product, would purchase same brand on other occasions.

Well designed, easy set up, clear FM transmission, strong mount onto windscreen

Reception on DAB was fine when car stationary. However as soon as the vehicle was moving the DAB reception, on anything other than BBC stations, was very poor and unlistenable to. This is in a major conurbation where DAB reception is very good. The item was returned for a refund as I was unable to listen to the stations that I wanted to.

Great idea, and when it worked the sound quality is very good.

Out of signal more often than it's in. The dashboard mount is VERY poor quality, and amounts to a piece of thick wire that is hard to change. Plastic fitting was broken in seconds, causing the unit to drop off the dash all the time. Not keen on having so many wires all over the place either...it needs a li-ion battery that could be used (like modern sat-nav units) so less need to have the cable to the power outlet. Great concept - maybe the MkII version will hit the mark better.

Excellant sound Very easy to use

Cost

Good looking & easy to set-up & use.

Batteries were very difficult to fit.

A good looking radio at a good price.

Excellent sound quality and ease of use and at a special price.

Slightly dated design

Good value Easy to set up

No alarm function

Great Idea

Signal coverage very poor, constantly in and out of reception even in built up areas eg, Brighton, Exeter, Exmouth, Manchester.

Pretty easy to install and use

Not so easy to retune when travelling long distances

Easy to fit, the unit looks pretty fine & is easy to operate.

the window mounting is a bit agricultural so I tried stashing the unit in the glove box with all the wires hidden behind the dash but reception was a bit iffy

Ease of use and reception

None

Easy to install easy to use, great product for getting DAB radio into your car.

Too many messy leads. This was not clear at time of purchase or I never would have bought it!!!!!

Works as described once up and running.

Arial not reusable. Need to retune to different FM signal when driving.

great sound

conections could be better, leads bounce out on rough roads.

Fm transmit range 87.6 to 107.9 DAB autoscan

Unable to stay with radio station (ie,CHILL) when moving from one local multiplex to the next (Highway- Does not continuously scan all frequences for same station- which may have better reception) Too much HISS when playback of MP3 when using AUX input (compared to my previous FM sender) Suction pad TOO large and Flexi arm TOO short. Replacement AERIAL not availiable from pure online shop! DAB reception in general is POOR, UNTIL RPC5 power upgrades to most transmitters is implemented so the use of HIGHWAY will be limited to on Strong Signal areas. 90% of population = ONLY 50% of landarea , I find myself switching to FM which is always better.

I can still listen to my favourite radio stations when on the move so I now no longer need to record to listen to later. It was very easy to install in the car.

Sometimes the reception (in Kent) is sometimes intermittent. It is however very good in London/Surrey and Berkshire areas. The car power adaptor is prone to getting knocked on my vehicle being just forward of the gear lever I may ask Pure if they have a different design available for my car.

At the time of this eMail I have still NOT received the goods.

I can,t really fault this Radio,apart from sometimes it won,t go into Digital Station,possibly area we live in,

As an older member of the community,I found it was that easy to understand,whilst trying to tune in to other stations, and still have,nt managed. A helpfull call center or similar would be useful.

Very simple to operate. Good clear reception.

Extra stations and AM stations available on dab.

Cable clutter and you only get 1 chance to position the ariel.

Fabulous design and clear screen

Poor and varying reception and more importantly because of the fix for once aerial we cannot transfer it between both of our cars

Brilliant bit of kit. I had a Revo before and this little diamond knocks spots of the Revo. I drive a truck and get almost perfect reception all over the country where as the Revo struggled. Thanks Pure DAB.

None

Does not work well if using sat nav too. Reception still not clear on 5Live.

all the advantages of digital radio

poor reception i am lorry driver and if i go anywere near coast you lose reception i would say medium wave has better reception

sound quality excellent

Travelling from Stirling to Inverness at first the quality of sound & reception were very good until I reached north of Perth, after which I could not get any reception until about 10 miles south of Inverness.

An excellent product. I would recommend it to anyone and everyone.

Everything. I bought this purely to listen to planet rock in the car, was easy to fit and tune it and I am so glad i bought it - worth every penny.

FM drops out now and again (it broadcasts itself to your car radio via fm) however as my car has an aux jack I have plugged in there and not had a problem since.

Good build quality, good reception and sound quality, has been reliable.

The case is a strange shape to carry, but ideal when clipped to the windscreen mount. Battery life not so great.

easy to install. good quality sound

not much of a display compared to normal DAB radio

cheap way of getting dab in the car

ease of use when driving

It's one of the first of it's kind, and it allows me to listen to my favourite radio stations. I travel 2hrs to work, and i can travel the whole distance without having to keep changing channels, unlike fm radio.

i struggle to hide the wires which make my car look messy! The magnet came off the back, so it can't be mounted to the cradle. The magnet is not a good idea to attach it to the cradle

Access (albeit sporadic) to many different & interesting radio stations

No means of connecting device to car radio (whole purpose!!!). When this device was purchased (top end of mkt product) only mono sound received. Coupled with lousy reception, this is a poor deal.

Fantastic value for money - having a Ford car would have had to ruin my dashboard to put in a dgital due to unique shape of Ford's incar audio so this is the perfect solution.

Reception can dip for apparently no reason.

none

Works well when reception is good

Driving around, reception is erratic, despite trying different aerial locations

Being able to listen to BBC 7 and other stations not available on FM in the car plus good reception for Radio 5 compared with that of AM. Reception excellent.

Break through from FM stations when it chooses a frequency to broadcast on that is rather too close to that of an FM station.

Ease of set up and use 'Dual purpose' car and portabale

easy to install

absolutely terrible reception constantly crackling and breaking up we have gone back to listening the normal radio as the digital one is a complete waste of time

simple to install and set up

magnetic mount on back of unit comes unstuck in hot weather,would be better if there was a bluetooth option on the reciever.

Easy to fit. compact. reasonable price.

difficult to operate whilst car in motion.

acces to mw stations that broadcast on dab

bad coverage in parts of hertfordshire and virtually none in suffolk having to retune the fm signal as the airwaves are very crowded and there are few gaps to fit in the signal from the highway to the car radio aerial not available as a spare part so that it can be easily replaced when car sold or when using unit in another car

Ability to use out of car with headphones as a personal radio.

Only one chance to affix the aerial to the windscreen; inability to run off batteries in-car.

Simple to install and use. Good sound quality

no auto scan function for available stations

It works

Airial lets it down. Display is not intuative. It's too easy to change away from the FM transmitting frequency

everything

nothing

It is very easy to set up and use

Depends on area coverage of reception

vfm

Very good for plying MP3 through.

When unit is on windscreen mount the vibration is irritating. Aerial mounting is a little "Heath Robinson". Signal lost frequently according to local topography.

Slim design means good for work tops etc. Easy to use and set up

None really. Sound quality not exceptional but good for size and portability of radio.

Nice sleek design, excellent sound quality, sleep function a bonus

easy to install.took me about 90 seconds. brilliant sound quality.and portable.

everybody wants to borrow it.

Fanastic sound quality

Will single handedly cause global warming from cause the battery usage for away from the car is horrendous. If our using most of the time in car then buy it. If you want a personal DAB get sommat else!

Its a nice design and very clever

The reception is terrible, and its very dangerous to change the channel while driving.

Design of the Highway is excellent. It is easy to use and reception is good in large conurbations.

Reception a little shaky in the countryside and the aerial is a little flimsy. It may have helped if the aerial cable could have been detached from the screen mounted aerial when not in use.

Ease of use, quality of sound

Reliable and stylish

Works on both battery and mains.

None to date

brillant reception

cant think of any

cant fault it in any way top top purchase. Moblie reception when using as a portable dab is brilliant.

Take DAB wherever you go. Suitable for In-car use, but also good as a portable DAB. Easy to upgrade via USB. Much better for MP3/Ipod/phone FM transmission than similar cheaper devices.

Can use batteries quickly when not used as an in-car device. A little large to be truly classed as portable USB cable not supplied.

Clear reception, good battery life, solid design, easy to use

magnetic mount not over convincing

very simple to install and use, excellent dab radio

not very attractive

Easy to use and good sound quality - when you have decent reception

Reception is intermittant. As a result it cuts in and out too regularly. Perhaps it needs a better aerial?

I get to listen to Planet Rock in my car

Sometimes the signal drops out is bad reception areas

Purchased so I could play my MP3 through it. Radio quite good

Reception not great (Fair bit of hissing) more noticable when I connect the MP3. Self adhesive aerial fixture. Good unless you have to get your windscreen replaced.

Neat

Reception poor. Too many wires needed

The Pure Highway was mentioned by a friend as a good product and a week later I had bought and installed one my self. It meant that after some month of not being able to receive AM or DAB stations I could now listen to them!

The only negative that I've experienced is that the input into the cigarette lighter of the car is easy to dislodge when changing gear. Otherwise it is fine!

great way of getting dab on the move

the mp3 qualty is very poor can't use it (really bad)

Initial setup is very easy. Plug in, turn on and it finds all channels in the local area and set's the FM frequency for your in-car radio (although not perfect if you commute for work!)

The holder has a magnet stuck down with Blutack (which was discovered as the mount fell off the window - that's Yorkshire cobbled streets for you!)

Ease of Use / set up except comment below

Diffecult to find a free FM frequency to set the DAB Highway to receive interference free!

Easy to use and set up.

Reception not great, and too many wires makes it look messy.

Easy to use with a wide range of stations available. Good sound quality.

Bad reception but probably due to living in Suffolk! Some stations only broadcasting in mono!

access to digital radio in the car.Great sound when you can eventually get reception

Poor reception. Fixed aerial is disappointing if you want to use it in more than one car I place it behind the sun visor

Easy to fit, easy to use, reception is excellent thus far.

A few trailing wires in the car, but prepared to have that in order to receive all the DAB stations.

* Flexibility to have all the DAB radio stations whilst on the move * Can be nicely tucked away out of sight when the car is parked * No need to change the existing stereo system in the car, no messy installations * Can be used as a portable unit using any headphones

* Rather than using any free FM frequency channel, would be nice to have one dedicated channel if that is possible. As one journey can involve you re scanning for another free radio frequency several times, which is not the ideal scenario you want to deal with when you should be concentrating on safe driving. * The buttons are a little plastic could be better quality, so when pressed you can tell you have pressed it.

Works very well in the car

the overall design is very good and the accessories included make this a very complete solution

the buttons are a bit fiddly (presets above 4) and in my area finding a clear frequency for the FM transmitter is tiresome
