I have a Philips AJ5100 dab radio. I can only recieve 8 dab channels, so I have to listen to the BBC ones on FM.

After I have stored the dab stations to their presets, and then switch to FM, once I go back to dab all the presets are empty and I have to rescan again. I returned it to argos who gave me another one to try, and this time it did not loose its presets, faulty radio I thought. But once I switched the radio off and turned it on again the next day, it had lost all the presets again. The radio in permantly powered on at the socket.

I have contacted Philips who cannot give me a answer, useless!

Does anyone know if all dab radios do this? It does take 6 C type batteries, which I presume is for use off the mains, would installing these save the presets.

Cheers

My portable pure evoke does not lose dab pre-sets even though there are no batteries installed so I think that is not your problem. The first mains dab receiver I bought always lost the presets when switched off.I changed to a Sony and have not had this problem since.
