I've had a DAB radio for about 12 years. Originally, it was for my kitchen, but I moved it to the bedroom in order to listen in bed. I decided to return that to the kitchen, and get this one for the bedroom. I first noted that DAB/DAB+ radios are relatively cheap now. I paid roughly the same for my other one all those years ago. I bought a USB model because I have a multi-USB plug, so the radio does not occupy a socket on its own. This works well. The radio is quite chunky, bigger than my other, but it does not take up much space on the bedside table. However, there are two issues which are annoying, though not enough to reduce my β˜† rating. Firstly, the power cable is connected at the back of the radio, which means it can not go right back to the wall, and so occupies a wee bit more space. Secondly, the buttons are on the front. For most, this is not an issue, but it is not easy to be lying in bed and just reach out to turn the radio on or off. The buttons are quite small but need reasonable pressure to function, which makes one-handed use awkward. The radio is not fancy, so it blends in easily. There is nothing to distract as it is solid black. It appears to be well made and sturdy. My only other criticism is the light. As I use it connected to USB all the time, there is a permanent glow. This is dimmable, but at night it still appears rather bright. I do not mind this, but some my find it annoying. I also noted that when I switched off the radio last night it had returned to full brightness. I don't know whether I did something. I can not comment upon reception with this radio. I live close to transmitters and often do not need to extend aerials as the signal is strong. Setting up the radio is fiddly. Allow there is an automatic tuning option, it automatically allocates the storage. I prefer to do this myself so that my lists are in order of favourites. All-in-all, this is a good purchase. It looks good. Is good value. The pros outweigh the cons. I recommend it. Review: Review for SHARP DR-P420(BK) - Midnight Black - Okay, after using this radio for almost a year, I can say my previous review MAY have undersold this little radio. After adjusting a couple of settings, the speaker sounds decent for a radio of the price. It has FM, DAB and Bluetooth capabilities, and also a battery slot at the back for portable use! Also, I have to give credit on the FM capabilities for this radio. Most DAB Radios use a cheap FM tuner which absolutely butchers FM quality. This one does not, it uses a decent FM tuner that doesn’t butcher FM’s quality! The antenna it comes with by default is pretty short, but it’s easy to replace with a longer one! You just undo one singular screw and the old antenna will come right out for a new, longer one to be put in place. Signal can be a bit of a pain to deal with, especially if you use the default short antenna, but it improves as soon as you put in a longer one! (This obviously, depends on your area.) The preset feature is nice, as you can save the radio stations you like and press a singular button to go back to them! The box comes with a manual, so learning how to use this radio will be easy. The radio has a 3.5 mm jack, so you can use headphones to listen to the radio if you really wish! The only drawback is the Micro-USB port for power, as micro usb is rare to find nowadays and Micro-USB can be pretty weak. But otherwise, amazing little radio! ## Features - PORTABLE DAB+/FM RADIO – DAB+/DAB & FM with RDS, auto tune/scan and 40 presets (20 DAB+/DAB + 20 FM) for quick access. - BLUETOOTH 5.3 STREAMING – Wirelessly play audio from your smartphone or tablet for flexible listening. - USB OR BATTERY POWERED – Compact and portable design with telescopic aerial for reliable reception at home or on the go. - CLOCK & DUAL ALARM – Auto time/date with two independent alarms so you can wake to your favourite station or tune into a scheduled show. - LISTEN YOUR WAY – Headphone jack for personal listening, 7 system languages, and Digital Radio Tick certification for future-ready performance. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B09XXMMQ2X | | Antenna Location | Music, News, Sports Broadcast | | Audio Output Mode | Mono | | Best Sellers Rank | 5,323 in Electronics & Photo ( See Top 100 in Electronics & Photo ) 53 in Portable DAB Radios | | Box Contents | Main unit, USB to Micro USB power cable, User documentation | | Brand | Sharp | | Brand Name | Sharp | | Colour | Midnight Black | | Compatible Devices | Smartphone | | Connectivity technology | Bluetooth | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 out of 5 stars 1,256 Reviews | | Display Technology | LCD | | Display Type | LCD | | EU Spare Part Availability Duration | 1 Years | | Enclosure Material | Plastic | | Frequency | 108 MHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04974019204413 | | Hardware Interface | 3.5mm Audio, Bluetooth 5, Headphone | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 17.4L x 5.3W x 9H centimetres | | Item Type Name | Portable Digital Radio | | Item Weight | 0.4 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | SHARP | | Manufacturer Part Number | DR-P420(BK) | | Maximum Speaker Output Power (in watts) | 2 Watts | | Model Number | DR-P420(BK) | | Network Connectivity Technology | Bluetooth | | Number of Batteries | 4 AA batteries required. | | Number of Items | 1 | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Product Features | Lightweight, Portable, Rechargeable | | Product Warranty | 1 year manufacturer | | Product dimensions | 17.4L x 5.3W x 9H centimetres | | Radio Bands Supported | DAB+, FM | | Special feature | Lightweight, Portable, Rechargeable | | Style Name | Portable | | Tuner Type | DAB + | | Tuner technology | DAB + | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | | Voltage | 1.5 Volts | | Water Resistance Level | Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Sharp - **Colour:** Midnight Black - **Connectivity technology:** Bluetooth - **Included components:** Main unit, USB to Micro USB power cable, User documentation - **Power source:** Battery Powered - **Product dimensions:** 17.4L x 5.3W x 9H centimetres - **Radio bands supported:** DAB+, FM - **Special feature:** Lightweight, Portable, Rechargeable - **Style:** Portable - **Tuner technology:** DAB + ## Images ![SHARP DR-P420(BK) Tokyo Portable Radio DAB/FM Dual Alarm - Midnight Black - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71onAN8lT-L.jpg) ![SHARP DR-P420(BK) Tokyo Portable Radio DAB/FM Dual Alarm - Midnight Black - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71YsuvrjzAL.jpg) ![SHARP DR-P420(BK) Tokyo Portable Radio DAB/FM Dual Alarm - Midnight Black - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71flsukVAxL.jpg) ![SHARP DR-P420(BK) Tokyo Portable Radio DAB/FM Dual Alarm - Midnight Black - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71rUdmtTq1L.jpg) ![SHARP DR-P420(BK) Tokyo Portable Radio DAB/FM Dual Alarm - Midnight Black - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61MNh5CcSVL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it come with a charger or is it only battery use?** A: This device is USB or battery-powered.

The tuning on FM is OK during the day but has noticeably deteriorated during the evening. Other than that it's simple to use, compact and has a decent volume and sound but there is no tone or bass adjustment. I guess for something so small and light it's pretty acceptable. ## Frequently Bought Together - SHARP DR-P420(BK) Tokyo Portable Digital Radio – Bluetooth 5.0, DAB+/FM, Compact, USB/Battery Powered, Dual Alarm, 40 Presets, 3.5mm Jack – Midnight Black - Mycket DAB Radio Portable, DAB Plus Digital Radios with Bluetooth, USB Rechargeable FM Radio, Battery Powered Small Radio,Dual Alarms Clock,Sleep Timer, 40 Presets Stations, 2.4" Large Colour Display - Sony MDR-ZX110 Wired Overhead Headphones, Neodymium Dynamic Drivers, Swivel Fold Design - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/444293636-sharp-dr-p420-bk-tokyo-portable-radio-dab-fm-dual](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/444293636-sharp-dr-p420-bk-tokyo-portable-radio-dab-fm-dual) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-05*
