..............where have they gone?
I have a radio in all rooms of the house bar the bogs but my radio in my shaving room is an old Grundig with dial tuning only and is not in a position to plug it into the mains easily. However it runs for months on 4 or 6 AA batteries. But dial tuning is a pain should I quickly want to change the station.
I wanted a small-ish replacement of table top size, with presets but all I can seem to find now are radios with FM/DAB to get this facility. To my mind DAB is a con really, as there is only one station on DAB that I require and cannot get on FM and that is R4 Extra - all the rest are rubbish pop music stations IMHO.
All of these DAB based radios are relatively battery hungry though, or at least require C or D cell batteries for which I don't have a charger, should I choose to use rechargeable batteries - which is the obvious way to go.
However I continue to search as I may have missed one somewhere.
