Occasionally, you'll want to retune your DAB Digital Radio. New broadcasts may be available to you, and getting your radio to retune, or rescan, will find them. In this article, we’ll look at some of the best outdoor radios on the market in the UK. Choosing an Outdoor Radio What to look for in an outdoor radio If you want to listen to music from your phone while you’re outside, you’ll probably want a radio with Bluetooth. You could keep your phone indoors away from the elements while streaming music through the radio’s speaker if the Bluetooth range is long enough. A high-contrast OLED display ensures excellent readability of the DAB / DAB + and FM radio stations. Technisat also focuses on quality when it comes to sound and supports the bass with an additional passive membrane. Sure, the tiny thing is still not a bass miracle, but in this price segment it is one of the best-sounding digital radios.

This radio can be plugged into the mains or used with four C-type batteries. The battery life is quite short, and the batteries might not last a full workday. This can be inconvenient and expensive unless you use rechargeable batteries. However, it’s quite normal for DAB radios to have poor battery life, so this isn’t a fault of this radio in particular.In addition to DAB, there is also DAB +. The newer standard can compress the transmitted stations better and thus ensures a greater number of stations on the frequency band. Most digital radios use both standards, so customers don’t have to worry about them. Those who like compact retro design will love the cuddly Technisat Viola 2. Weighing just 300 grams, the DAB / DAB + and FM receiver are among the lightest in our selection. In addition, it is also the cheapest. Crystal-Clear DAB/DAB+ and FM Reception: With a wide frequency range of 174MHz to 240MHz for DAB and 87.5MHz to 108.00MHz for FM, you'll enjoy a vast selection of radio stations, both digital and analog, ensuring you never miss your favorite broadcasts. Whether you’re gardening, camping or just relaxing in the sun, it’s nice to be able to listen to the radio outdoors. However, you can’t just take a regular radio outside and expose it to the elements without expecting trouble.

If you want to listen to the radio outside or in a greenhouse, it’s best to invest in something a bit tougher. Your radio will also probably have a factory reset option. Especially if you move house, you probably want this one: it'll get rid of all the old settings in the radio, including old radio stations that no longer broadcast. This will remove any presets, though. An example of an IP code is IPX4, which means. This code has an ‘X’ in the position for dust resistance, which means that it hasn’t been tested for dust resistance. The ‘4’ means that it can withstand being splashed with water for 10 minutes. Water resistance: There are very few (if any) truly waterproof radios, but you can buy models designed to withstand rain and damp. Bluetooth: This is a useful feature to have for streaming audio from a phone or other device. Bluetooth will allow you to play music or other audio from your phone through the radio’s speakers. One alternative to using Bluetooth is to connect the phone via a cable to the radio’s aux-in port if it has one.

Solar Radios

Versatile Power Options: Mains (adaptor sold seperately) or battery operated allowing you to enjoy your music wherever you go. You could also consider using a Bluetooth shower speaker.

There are also some more expensive DAB radios with solar charging.
