The Roberts Stream 83i is a table-top DAB, FM and internet radio, equipped with five red, easily identifiable station preset buttons and tuning and volume dials. It includes connectivity for streaming music from your computer, connecting up an MP3 player and listening to files on USB and although is has a handle it only runs off the mains, not batteries - so it's not completely portable.

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.
