Roberts R9962 Radio 3 May 2004
By A Customer
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.

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.

We needed a second small radio in the house, and the Roberts one was the smallest we could find of good quality.
It works well, and we are well satisfied with our purchase.
