    Pure Evoke 3

    I have a dead Pure Evoke 3 DAB radio. There are voltages on main PCB but I have no manual and have searched the internet but cannot find any information at all about receiver. Suggestions would be good apart from return to repair centre.

      Sorted out the problem which I believe may be a common to the Evoke3.
      There is a metal heatsink on left side of chassis, and beneath is a wire link from a transistor collector to a surface mount diode.The connection to the diode was dry jointed, resoldered and it all works fine, a lovely radio.

        Hello All. Im new to this forum and have joined to seek help in repairing the main board on a Pure Evoke 3 dab radio. The radio is completely dead, however there is a very quiet sound which comes from the speakers if the 12vsupply lead is pulled out whilst volume is turned to full. The sound is like a distant firework exploding, ie a very low power boom. I suspect the issue is to do with the main board and hence I thought Id join this forum and discuss it with you guys. If you need any photos, please just ask I will be happy to provide all thats needed. PS, ive been around all the soldered joints and reflowed them.

        Looking forward to chatting with someone about this please.

        Kind regards
        Deggsy

          follow maxwell's description - i dont think anybody else has worked on them here.
          to be blunt, dab was invented by the bbc to get rid of pirates.
          it worked - nobody i know has any interest in dab radio's because they wont recieve the channels people actually want!!
          analog forever! (in FM with a stereo carrier and RDS )

            Notwithstanding the trifling response below (waste of electrons sir), are there are meaningful responses likely to come out of this forum? Sorry but responses for the sake of response press my 'irritate me' button. There is nothing in the world which cannot be repaired without the right mindset

            Regards deggsy

                I have a dead Pure Evoke-3 as well and would appreciate some help from someone who has managed a cure themselves, although it may not be from the same cause!

                  clock radio / radio lifespan?
                  by shelby5041
                  hi
                  ive got a modern digital clock radio approx 15yrs old

                  my question is how long can a clock radio or a simple radio last ss farcas operating hours?

                  since elec components have limited hour lifecspan i would imagine the radio or clock radio would eventually fail.

                  the reason i ask is because i have my clock radio on radio function 24/7 for the past 7 years and its still working fine....i leave the radio on ..never turn off past 7years...thats approx 60000 hours

                  it uses very little power just a few watts i would imagine that may have something...

                  Schematic vs. Reality: Where Are the Resistors on My Sharp Clock Radio? Model FY-70CH
                  by TinkerTron
                  Hey everyone,

                  I'm currently working on a mid-70s Sharp Electronic Digital Clock Radio, Model FY-70CH. I found the service manual online, printed it out, and have been studying it for a while. My main reasons for tackling this are: (1) I want to learn electronics and figured I'd start with something I had on hand, and (2) I want to fix its issues. Right now, the radio sounds awful, has about 5V DC at the speaker terminals, and the alarm time setting doesn't work. But I'm not asking how to fix these problems.

                  Instead, here's what's been bugging me so far:
                  The schematic...
