Hi Carol I would recommend the Pure Move if you want something portable. The FM on this radio is quite good, unlike some other sets with a DAB/FM combination. It has 10 presets and a speaker, so you don't need to wear headphones to listen to it. Alternatively, I'd also recommend the Dualit range. These radios are really good quality. They have DAB and FM, and are fairly accessible from a non-sighted perspective. You can choose from the Dualit kitchen radio, or the Dualit Lite, the latter being more portable. All the above radios come with mains and battery charging facilities. If you want any further info on the Pure Move or Dualits, let me know, and I can send you info on how they work privately. Enjoy!

Hi all, We're wondering if the time has come to buy a new digital radio since ours was damaged when it fell from a height some months ago. Anyone bought anything recently that's relatively easy for us to manage, or does anyone have one that they've had for a while that's still available and good for us to manage? By the way, we're looking for something portable, so to take batteries, but we do want a reasonable reception too, so if smaller digitals aren't really there with the good reception, please let us know. Thanks for any comments. -- Carol carol.pearson29@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx On Twitter: http://twitter.com/songbird49a ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx ** and in the Subject line type ** unsubscribe ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the ** immediately-following link:- ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] ** or send a message, to ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq No virus found in this incoming message.
