T R, Hayling Island, Hampshire , “I'm a retired scientist.”

+ It finds and tunes station, although in the wrong order (i.e., frequency order, not programme order, and has to be re-shuffled, tediously).
It works well, when it works.
It is small, and consumes little energy.

- Timer recording is a nightmare; it is difficult without trifocal glasses, and fingers like a watchmaker whose hobby is safebreaking. It has an intermittent fault, too, sometimes (~10 to 20% of the time) failing to record although set correctly. It was returned and replaced with a more expensive model, this very day.
The manual is a translation from some Eskimo language by a Martian.
I expect you don't publish many reviews, in view of what you say above...
