Makita Dab radio confusion...

Makita BMR104 DAB/FM Site Radio 18V | NoLinkingToThis

Makita DAB Site Radio 240V | NoLinkingToThis

I've been looking at these for 18 months and after another £20 DAB radio failed me today its time to bite the bullet but what is the difference here between these two? What are you getting for an extra £20?

Both say they can be run on 18v batteries which is all I want and both come with AC adaptor.

Personally I have tried DAB and found its over hyped and I can get better sound quality with FM. Unless you want to listen to 6 music I wouldnt bother getting one. Wait a year or so and it will all be WiFi radio which will be miles better.

I DO what to listen to 6 music.

Got it free with my makita toolkit so can't moan too much though

Only thing I don't like about dab radios is it's all or nothing with the signal had a few on different jobs where you get nothing for 5 minutes then it's back on then an hour later it drops again , couldn't be bother with all that kerfuffle stick to my bosch fm radio

I have a Makita dab site radio, reception not bad.

But if a battery charger is plugged into the same ring main it all goes :furious3:

I got this radio at Christmas...I love it.

Shame you cant turn the bass down as its a little too much when in a echoy bathroom all day...but its a site radio so cant compain. :25:
