Guest The Pom Queen Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 We use Dab Plus over here so check if it can be converted. Also we have a Dab plus but can't get Dab in Cairns so maybe it's only in major cities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just sorting for the packers tomorrow and have no idea if it's worth taking!! Tia Most radio here is from the 80's so it will have Buckley's chance of working here! :laugh: In all honesty, I brought mine out and upgraded it via the USB. It worked OK until it failed and those 'Pure' folk refused to do anything. I had a 'wireless' for 20 years without fail, but have in the past 5 years had to replace a DAB radio twice.

flybyknight Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 no, its dab+ out here, same as in europe. the good news is that it will sound better than dab! the bad news is you'll need a new radio to hear it. the uk jumped on it first thinking they were smart, however by the time they sussed out it was a lemon they had spent loads of tax payers money so couldn't stop. sell your old radio, sure someone will buy it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wen66 Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Dab+ in Adelaide too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boganbear Posted August 3, 2014 Share Posted August 3, 2014 Radio is terrible in Oz. I gave hardly listened to it in 6 years. It's endless inane chatter , adverts and the odd song. I prefer listening to Internet radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolvesaussie Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I never thought to ask this question so brought mine out to melb to find it doesn't work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zk2102 Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I'm gutted to hear my DAB won't work. Will bring mine anyway. It's the best present I've ever been bought. It looks like a Marshall Amp, and goes up to volume 11!! Will use it as an ornament unless I can get the mechanics changed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacaranda Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 We have DAB radio in the UK and although I listen to it quite often,Im more like to listen online to stations,particularly if its an Oz radio station so perhaps you could do the same but in reverse!lol (I listen to Triple J online,which is an Oz station,and also a talk back station as I like to keep up to date whats going on.

newjez Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 I think the south downs kill all dab around me. Still, they're pretty to look at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
