what is a dab radio?

[paintpowder1]

Digital Audio Broadcast.
Pure sound clarity when it works!
Downside is, the quality of reception can be unreliable when moving from one place to another,and the batteries need replacing more often.

so can you listen to any radio station in the world ie,spain, austraila?

No, not like you can with a long-wave radio, the broadcast range is much more local.
For more information see < http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_radio >
You can, however, listen to digital broadcasts from all over the world through your computer and check out the new range of PURE DAB radios. Of course you'll see information regarding DAB+ broadcasts which are not compatible with the current DAB sets. This will upset a few million people who have already invested in their DAB sets.
Nothing changes!

I should really have added that it will most likely be possible to listen to other countires via satellite, but that would mean a subscription service, much like we have with SKY+ at present. This is in the not too distant future in the UK.
