Just browsing in Campsie Big W yesterday, ran into this little gem, nearly 60% off. thought it was excellent value, bought one. very happy with it. There were 4 or 5 left on shelves late yesterday. I could not find it on Big W online. Not sure if it is "in store" only
Does this have an audio OUT? Need to sort out some big sound for Australia day.
Yes, 3.5mm headphone jack

Good price for a stereo DAB+. Not sure how good the sound is though.
I got the Aldi one for $30 earlier this month, is this one better than Aldi's?
Nice! Better than the Laser one for $34 (RRP $79) on Boxing Day. Just bulkier. But Bush is better than Laser.
If another brand enters the market they should call it Brazilian.
Going by the picture, this looks to have the same crappy LCD display that a different Bush DAB+ radio I purchased has. Bush has cheaped out by using the Hitachi HD44780 LCD display, which has horrible scrolling. They should have used an OLED display.
Nah, the HD44780 can be a superb display,
If you drive the contrast line negative
And don't buy the cheapest one possible…
Two cost saving measures likely made here.
You can very likely 'hack' this to improve contrast, etc
If you're. Really worried about it, just rip the dab module and connect to a raspberry pi with a 2.8 inch touch TFT
You mentioned "don't buy the cheapest one possible". That's my point .. they did use the cheapest one possible.
Can anyone in Sydney buy another and I will buy it from you? Just in case anyone finds one and can get the extra one. Message me!
BigW staff at Macquarie noted this has been on clearance of the last few for the past six months. I was told it's unlikely to be any in Sydney by now - so if you get one - post news of it here!
FYI other brands e.g. Phillips and others are approx $65-68.
I wouldn't have a lot of Bush, but just a little bit is OK.
