Default Does a DAB radio track stations as you move?

Presumably you're considering DAB as an alternative to FM. My
experiences with (early) DAB radios taught me that they drain batteries
very much quicker than FM radios, which might be worth taking into
account. If anyone can report that modern DAB chipsets are better in
this regard I'd be pleased to hear about it.


Mine apparently does the batteries in an hour, so portable it ain't
