There may not be a DAB which exists which does LW

The rest is easy

We have a digitech brand available here that does fm/am/lw/sw/dab+ sold by jaycar here in Australia . ( jaycar are an electronic / tech store that sell a bit of everything from components to kits to general electrical products ) you may have a similar style of store there ? The only name i know from the U.K is maplins .

Not much use to you in the U.K i know but have you tried searching for " worlld band radio " ?

If you can't get what you want over there you may try phone apps like my tuner pro or the like as you may get the channels you like through your phone and you can use a bluetooth speaker with it as well .

Or you may have to buy two radios one that looks after the old analogue signals and a separate dab unit , the one really good thing with this is you can get a really good quality analoge unit and a reasonable dab unit for similar money that you will pay for one that does the lot and remember the more they cram into something the more comprimises they have to make on quality especially with the analogue tuning section

I had a look on ebay but couldn't see one there as it filters for local stuff first .

Tesco do one – World Band Radio

Just realised, this one doesn't have an alarm. close though!

No DAB either

Try looking for an internet clock radio. Technically speaking it's digital, will have a radio alarm, they do them with FM and you can should be able to get TMS.

You're right, must look closer! The perils of quick searches in an open plan office!!

When I taught overseas the small Sony world radio + alarm was great as it allowed SW reception of BBC World service and worked for weeks off just 4 AA Cells wch could be bought world wide – it met all the requirements inc VHF except for DAB (a little too early) but as the later is only used in UK (DAB+ in a few other countries) and DAB is extremely taxing for battery operation I suspect the market for such would be very small

This lot should keep you busy for a while.

Not noticed LW but just about every other thing you mention seems available in this selection.

I have no connection to the retailer.

I thought this 'does everything' bad-boy might do the job, but guess what? No DAB!

Why don't you buy the good lady one anyway? I'm sure she's worth every penny and you'd never hear the end of it!

A few years ago my Wife's old transistor radio started giving bother, it was also hard on PP9 Batteries.

I got her a DAB battery/mains one for that Xmas.

I had some trepidation about that as an Xmas present in case it was regarded as a household type gift (we don't do those), anyway to cut a long story short:- I couldn't have got her a better present (brilliant reaction) it has permanent pride of place in the kitchen tuned to a few of her favourite stations.

Has to be said that she has no interest in cricket though!

Will Santa be able to unlock the door from inside?

Next year, a full size mock-up of a Lancashire Boiler front.

She'll love polishing the brass!
