No - I had a look on Amazon, and thought I would ask for a recommendation - seemed a simple question. If anyone has purchased such a radio, would you recommend it? E. G. a number of the radio's include options, torches, USB charger, power bank, etc. is this a good ideal or adding complication, AM/FM or DAB?

Also in the market for one of these - most of the camping-orientated ones appear to be FM/AM, is there a reason for this that a simpleton might understand?

It's probably because the DAB reception is so hit and miss.

I eventually bought one of these Solar Hand Crank Self Powered Emergency Radio with LED Flashlight AM/FM Radio Smart Phone Charger Power Bank (Black)
