MetalToby Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Hi, We are beginning to pack up our house ready for the big move in June. A couple questions for you.... Do UK DAB radios work in Australia? I have seen the there, but not sure if I can take mine from the UK. Also, do radio controlled clocks work? The kind that set themselves via a radio signal we have in the UK. Thanks! Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottieGirl Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Aus uses the DAB+ format so if it can receive DAB+ yes. I bought a DAB radio in the UK that did not work but I contacted the manufacturer and they sent me instructions to convert it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some DAB radios you can get a software upgrade to make them DAB + however you need to check the area you move to have coverage. We bought a DAB+ over here and we didn't have coverage in Cairns Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evandale Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 My UK PURE DAB works well here, the only thing that doesnt operate is the digital display stating what station you are on for the rest mine are all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MetalToby Posted April 21, 2017 Author Share Posted April 21, 2017 Thanks everyone. Mine is also a PURE DAB radio. There seems to be an update for DAB+ on their website, so I'll try that out once I get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottieGirl Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 The one I converted was a Pure so you should have no issues switching it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elderberry Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 My Pure Pop MIni P240 works perfectly here including display, date and time. SmoothFM here even has the same jingle as the UK! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus1 Posted April 26, 2017 Share Posted April 26, 2017 Coverage is the issue, if you're regional you've no chance. You can check coverage at http://www.digitalradioplus.com.au/can-i-get-digital-radio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FM still rules here I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
