General Radio Discussion / Looking for advice about DRM Radio
« on: August 01, 2015, 2037 UTC »
Dear friends,
This is my first time in this forum, so please be a bit patient with any mistakes I possibly make. I promise to improve later on.
I am a 35 year old user from Greece who has been a very dedicated shortwave radio listener ever since there childhood.
However, nowadays I sadly realise that the traditional SW band hosts fewer and fewer publicly funded stations and in addition to that, the numbers of regular listeners and hobbyists have dramatically fallen.
The advent of DRM (Digital Radio Mondiale) has made me hope that we could possibly be heading towards a revival of international radio listening, without having to depend on a computer or an Internet connection.
Having this is mind, I am really interested in buying a DRM capable radio receiver.
Among other radios, I have seen one named Morphy Richards 27024, which appears to be the most affordable and promising solution, as it combines old-style FM/MW/SW listening together with DAB/DRM and it can also be used as an MP3 player through its SD card socket.
Please let me know if anyone has ever used that radio in Europe or elsewhere, and mainly if it has been possible to tune into DRM signals with it. Any correspondence from listeners living in Greece would be largely appreciated.
Thank you very much for your attention,
A humble white cat from Greece
