DAB Digital radios
We emigrated with 3 DAB digital radios all of them good quality - we can't get digital radio where we live and if would could it needs to be DAB+ so they are no use. Has anyone any ideas what I could do with them, I tried to sell them on ebay.au but they withdrew the adverts as they did not meet Aus electrical requirements.

However, found this on google for DAB+ coverage for anyone interested

Looks like ours will be given away, never mind

Re: DAB Digital radios
FYI
Australia uses DAB+ - most but not all UK DAB radios are configured for DAB - an older system. These UK ones will not work in Australia at all, unless you can talk to the manufacturer and see if the chip is DAB+ compliant. A few are and could be upgraded via software but the majority will not work.
Either check before you leave or do not bring them. I have mine sitting here in a box doing nothing and it's useless - frustrating but that's life...
