I was recently looking for a DAB+ radio that will alert me via the ASA emergency messaging feature deployed in Germany 🧵.
But typical ASA-enabled rigs run on AC mains power exclusively. Power gone? ASA gone! 😯
I finally found+bought a "TechniSat DigitRadio 1 A" that is off-grid able via a rechargeable battery.
It's a fine DAB+ radio, but that battery is about 15x too small for ASA, imho. A mere 12-14 hours of ASA monitoring will render it dead empty (when no messages come in).

@dj3ei@mastodon.radio Thanks, this is about the same I found when browsing the available devices. It seems the time of long running AA powered FM and short wave radios are gone now :/
