Score 9.0/10+ Being an old foggie, I often find complex electronics difficult to use. This radio did not present any special problem. It's very easy to see what you are able to listen to, and has revolutionised my listening to Test Match Special and The Jazz.
- Batteries do drain down quite fast: 6-8 hours seems to be it. Rechargables are hopeless, as they produce 1.2 not 1.5 volts, and last ten minutes. An alternative aerial would be good, as the headphone wire isn't ideal in marginal reception conditions.

you must use top of the range batteries for best reception
the batteries included were pretty much useless
i would recommend duracell m3

Score 8.0/10+ a nice sleek design which is simple to use, no need to read any lengthy instructions it is that simple, just pick up and go!
- when signal is slightly lost it cuts the transmission for a split second like it has lost it completely

- The AC in On The Unit Is A Non Universal Plug So If Your AC Adaptor Quits You Cannot Get Away With Buying A Generic Model
