I BOUGHT THIS MODEL NEW ON EBAY 4 WEEKS AGO EXPECTING  EXCELLENT SONY QUALITY. TO MY EXTREME DISAPPOINTMENT,I FOUND THE RECEPTION ON BOTH DAB AND FM VERY POOR.SO POOR THAT IT NOW LIES IN A DRAWER,USELESS !  I CONTACTED SONY IN GLASGOW,WHERE I LIVE, TO BE TOLD THAT THE DAB SIGNAL IN MY AREA MAY GET STRONGER IN THE NEXT YEAR OR SO !  DEFINITELY NOT HAPPY WITH THIS, I THEN  'PHONED SONY UK IN BERKS [08705 111 999] TO ASK FOR THEIR VIEW ON THIS.   EVEN WORSE ! !  I WAS TOLD THAT IT WASN'T THEIR FAULT GLASGOW/SCOTLAND HAD POOR RECEPTION !  ALSO, THAT IT WASN'T UP TO THEM TO STOP RETAILERS SELLING THIS RADIO KNOWING FULL WELL IT COULDN'T  RECEIVE A STRONG ENOUGH SIGNAL HERE .  I FIND THIS TO BE SHEER ARROGANCE FROM SONY. A COMPANY KNOWN THROUGHOUT THE WORLD FOR IT'S PROVEN [ I THOUGHT] GUARANTEE OF QUALITY.    BUY SONY AGAIN ??? NO !!! NOT FOR THE ARROGANCE.
