As a trades man the DMR115 sounds great and the graphic equaliser is handy BUT ! it drains batteries twice as quick as the likes of the older DMR104/110 on Dab , i can get 3 days out of a 5ah battery using Dab on volume setting 15 on a DMR104 but only a day and a half on the DMR115 and the batteries drain even quicker when using Bluetooth !
But the biggest problem with the DMR115 is the DAB signal , I've had my DMR115 for 3 years now and have found that unless you have a good DAB signal the 115 will often loose the signal where as the 104 will still be playing DAB , unfortunately most stations have moved to DAB+ and the 104 is DAB so i've ended up buying the DMR301 which is DAB+ and Bluetooth , Batteries last around 2 days on DAB+ at volume 15 and the DAB+ siganal is ore or less on par with the DMR104
The biggest let down of the DMR115 is the DAB signal and if you're a trades man you'll be moving from site to site so be warned ⚠️ about the 115's struggle with DAB signal . I'd recommend the DMR301
Hey, thanks for the update. Have you tried leaving the handle up when using on site as that’s where the aerial lives?
@@noseknows Hey bud , the handle always stays up when in use , even tried the trick with the old radios where you lean a length of metal against the aerial but no joy . The 301 is a better radio
I had the black edition of this radio great bit of kit.The whoofer on the bottom blew so upgraded to the mg 007 both great radios
How do you find the Dab signal on the MG007 ? I've had the DMR104 for years and the signal was always good but the power and volume started playing up years later . I then bought a DMR115 , the sound is great BUT compared to the 104 the DAB signal on the 115 is not as good depending on area ! I later got a good deal on a DMR301 which although doesn't have the graphic equaliser still has Bluetooth and DAB and it recieves signal as well as the 104 and much better than the 115
If you use a 12v battery you have enough room to locate power supply within as well.
Disappointingly No
Where u buying it at that price mate? £150 + everywhere I’ve looked
Hiya, just found your channel and noticed you did a tear down on a Dyson V6 few year back, I'm just trying to sort mine out now, when you took the back plastic off and put a battery in to see the blue light come on the circuit board, mine doesn't do that and it's a new battery, is it Knackered if it doesn't light up, many thanks Paul 🙂
Hey Paul, without being able to check the voltage at at both the battery and the unit itself it’s hard to say but if you do have a multimeter I would check the battery terminals first for voltage and then whilst connected try to check the unit is receiving a voltage as well.
@@noseknows yea I do have one, I'll try that, thankyou for the reply
I paid £190 for this exact model
How many watts?
What watts?
Are they still very very very bassey .
The Beauty of the DMR115 is that it has a graphic equaliser and you can turn the base right down , which is why i bought one .
Please see my other comments , i had the DMR104 and the base on that is horrendous, out of the 3 radios i have the DMR301 is my goto .
@@jompy151 cheers 👍I get one too then
@@dominicdurso3672 I've just ordered a second DMR301 from B&Q of all places for £180 to replace my failing DMR104 , at the moment I have my 301 and 115 on site and the 115 is doing my f**king sweed with the crap signal !
This thing sucks as a jobsite radio. I work in construction and we had to recharge the batteries after only 3 hours of running time. Talking 18v 6ah brand spanking new batteries. I Switched to an older model and it runs for 2 days. I don't recommend this thing at all, especially for the price they are selling it for.
The DMR115 drains batteries twice as quick than the older DMR104/110 and even quicker on Bluetooth , i can get a day and a half on DAB at around volume 15 from a 5ah battery
@@jompy151 We blaze the volume at max or else we hear squat.
