This radio is probably quite expensive compared to other radios of its size, but it has absolutely marvellous battery life, sensitivity and selectivity. Its forte is shortwave; I have got excellent reception on it compared to much more expensive and larger radios at the same location. The built-in speaker is also a lot better than some larger radios.
I have been using this radio for quite a few years now and it continues to impress me. I recommend it most highly.

I needed a small radio to listen to certain stations and went for the £15 Alba from Argos which couldn't receive the stations. I returned it and ordered this Radio & its simply fantastic!!It received the stations with excellent quality and no signal loss. The sound is also nice coming from the mono speaker. It comes with a wallet you can store it in and a BBC SW guide. You will not regret buying this item for its clarity and consistent signal strength. It proves if you buy cheap, you buy twice.

I bought this to replace my stolen Sony radio, but wanted something that cost less than the £200 I paid for the Sony.
This is a really neat little radio. Good clear sound, and small and light enough to shove in a large pocket.
Tuning is analog, via the tuning knob on the side, coupled with the sliding 'band' selectors on the top panel - which I actually like - and it has a good sized antenna to help with FM reception. It has a headphone socket on the side and an input port for a power supply (neither of which are supplied).
We always take a radio when we travel, and this one has good reception of World Service programmes on Long Wave which is what we need.
Also - cheap as chips!

Surprisingly sensitive and selective on SW. I did a back to back comparison with my other SW radio, a Degan DE1103; the Roberts is a more sensitive receiver (believe it or not! Read more
