    Hi Woo,I have a Roberts Gemini 46 RD-46 DAB radio that Mr Kandy brought me for xmas last year and he tuned it in for me so that I can get 5 live and our local radio station.I haven't got any special booster for it and half the time don't even use the ariel.

    One thing though they are a heavy piece of kit so you don't want to drop it on your toe plus it drains the power and if you run it on batteries they run down quiet fast.{DC 6v 1000mA}

    I have just had a look at the back of mine and it takes four 1.5v batteries LR20/D size and the Frequency Range is FM 87.5-108MHz

    It also says Cahnnel Block
    DAB{Band111}5A-13F whatever that means:scratch:

    Sorry that I can't be of any more help:)

    :) Hi Woo.....Not all programmes are broadcast in DAB.....
    Does your radio have FM as well,if so you should get it on there.
    I have one that does not have FM so I am restricted and have to use another portable to get some of my local stations.
