I've got a Perstel DR101, and want to tune into the above programme.
The instructions suck, and it's not at all obvious how to "tune" one of these things. Before i use it as a baseball against a hard wall, can anyone tell me how to find Radio 5? Ta v much.

Xtra isnt on all the time, Ive just checked my Pure 701ES and extra isnt transmitting, it is showing "?BBC5SportXtra?" the question marks on my units display mean its not transmitting, I've only ever listened to it on a Saturday when they use it for coverage of another footy match, sorry no time for a clicky but ive checked the website and theyre not transmitting today.

What do you think of DAB, I dont know anyone else with it but I'm well impressed, best piece of kit ive bought in years.
ps. 5 xtra is back tomorrow for the cricket
Best of luck

FM, thanks for that. Don't really have an opinion as i haven't been able to tune into anything yet!!
What's confusing me is that there doesn't seem to be any sort of "menu", or the ability to "tune" it as you would a conventional radio.
I know that sounds a bit dim, and might be too product-specific, but right now all i have is a little silver box which i can turn on and off, and nothing more. Sad but true!
