What is it: A kitchen radio with smart EPG (electronic programming guide)
What we think: A satisfying improvement over its predecessor, it's one of the best portable radios out there. If you want programmed record features and a solid chassis, this is a fierce contender

Tags: pure digital, station, listening, array
We like:
Solid build; excellent reception; well-designed EPG
We don't like:
Prosaic design
You might also need:
3.5mm cable -- you can plug in an iPod and use the Evoke-3 as an amplifier and speaker set
CNET UK judgement:
Discerning radio listeners will find plenty to enjoy here. PURE has delivered on the promise of improving the 2XT's performance. The Evoke-3 is one of the best kitchen DAB radios we've tested so far. The styling may be a little kitsch for some tastes, but functionally it's hard to fault

PURE is on its third revision of the Evoke series. Can the Evoke-3 possibly hope to deliver the everlasting joy and laughter of the original?

BBC doubles iPlayer radio quality, DAB weeps
The BBC just doubled the quality of the iPlayer's live radio service, as well as switching from Real Player to Flash streaming. And we think this could be a massive blow to DAB, too
