Digital radios: Compare features & prices Bush NE-3116 review
The Bush NE-3116 is a budget portable DAB FM radio available in a range of colours including silver, purple and black. It's reasonably easy to use and features 20 stations presets although you'll have to press more than one button to access them. This inexpensive Bush DAB radio has a single speaker and headphone socket, but is it value for money?

Sensitivity
We gradually reduce the DAB signal to find out which radios are most sensitive to picking up weaker signals. A high score here will not guarantee DAB reception as there is not currently full UK DAB coverage, but the best models stand a better chance of being able to pick up slightly weaker DAB signals.
