There are also six equalisation settings to choose from if you want to adjust the tone and depth of your music according to your individual needs. Pure Elan E3 review: Verdict All-in-one music systems, Internet radio, DAB/DAB+ radio, smart radio and Bluetooth radio from PURE London We also liked the fact that the buttons and dials on the Pure Elan E3 are tactile and easy to use. You don’t have to fiddle around with tiny buttons when you’re trying to find the right station.Instead, you can jump straight into action, setting your favourite stations to one of forty available spaces on your list of preferred channels. Switch-on the Pure Elan Connect and you’ll be taken straight to network settings, not only for fetching internet radio stations and podcasts, but also to keep time. There follows a slightly confusing set of choices for things such as daylight savings – for which the default is ‘no’… why would anyone want a radio that gives the wrong time for half the year?!. Nevertheless, at least connecting to the home Wi-Fi network is easy if you’re using a WPS-enabled Wi-Fi router. I can’t receive Radio X on my Pure Evoke 1XT. Where do I apply for the free software available to upgrade my radio?
