As an aside, in response to the earlier comment. My unit was I believe at the latest version, it simply re installed it The next day I tried to plug on the radio and to turn it on but the radio is completely dead, it does not power on at all. I cannot do any factory resets etc as the radio does not even turn on - it is completely dead. However, even when it powers up, the display is corrupted, and the front panel controls are arbitary, no tuning or channel selection works. Some remote functions (eg OK and volume) work Designed with a focus on beauty and performance, the Pure Evoke H3 is a sensational piece of compact audio equipment that would fit perfectly in your kitchen or on a bookshelf. The Evoke H3 is a step-up version of the H2 – one of the simpler offerings in the Evoke portfolio. Volume can be boosted without too much distortion though with only a simple mono speaker on board, the audio is a bit weak compared to more highly priced units. A decent basic option if you’re after a durable little DAB that can be moved around at will.

It looks like there is something wrong with this model regarding the auto update. If I had been able to turn off the auto update I think this could have been avoided. There was no need for it to update as I'd already done it manually. DAB reception now stretches across most of the UK, covering 97% of the UK population. In the event that you’re not covered, or your station selection is poor, you could opt for an internet radio station instead. This streams radio stations from the internet by connecting via your household Wi-Fi network. This is great, but it might restrict where you can listen. DAB, in case you’re wondering, uses a broadcast DAB signal so it will work in places where Wi-Fi isn’t available. How good is the sound? A free UNDOK smartphone app makes it even easier to control, turning your smartphone into touch remote . There’s also a traditional remote in the box if you prefer a simpler approach. A superb all-rounder that sounds just as good as it looks.
