Ups

UPS

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS), connects to equipment (usually computer equipment) that is sensitive to sudden power loss. The UPS will maintain a continuous supply of electric power to any equipment it is connected to by supplying power from a separate source if mains electric power fails for any reason. The UPS will effectively switch from mains electricity to its own battery power almost instantaneously. UPS is used for computer, medical and telecommunications equipment, where power loss could lead to loss of data or worse. The UPS will provide a bridge allowing an orderly power down - so data is not lost. Typically the UPS only provides power for a few minutes - enough time to save work and power down the equipment.

For some reason springtime is always DAB Digital Radio time. Maybe it's simply a matter of moving away from the TV that we've been hunched over all winter? The dark flicker in the corner of a room replaced by a more airy light feeling that comes with spring cleaning, cooking or gardening.

Whatever, it's a real shame that DAB Digital Radio never caught on like Digital TV did. The reception (as long as you are in a good area) is better and there are many channels that just aren't available otherwise. I particularly like BBC Radio 4 Extra.

Most radio fans who do not take up DAB, or just listen to it on-line, cite poor reception as the main reason. Yet there are steps you can take. If you receive any kind of signal at all you can take steps to improve matters: http://www.beststuff.co.uk/store/DAB-Digital-Radio-Aerials/

Our single best-selling product last month was the simple SLx indoor DAB aerial at £12.99.
