I have missed the sonus discussions ? is the one that people are talking about the pure sonus -1xt talking radio. Do people agree that it is better than anything else available for vips at present? Tescos have it at 98.10 free delivery with triple club card points this week which seems reasonable given the features they list. Interested in your views.

Thankfully I am in a position where I can afford to choose my own radio and I would certainly choose the Sonus over any of the Roberts models I have seen.

Admittedly, sticking on some yellow knobs and asking another £20, does indeed seem a little bit cheeky! ----- Original Message ----- From: Tristram Llewellyn <mailto:tris-l@xxxxxxxxxx> To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, April 19, 2006 3:53 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: Talking roberts dab radio The radio is from article evidently a modified Roberts RD8 available from anywhere but with yellow knobs stuck all over it against darker caswork for an extra 20 quid over the usual asking price. Most significantly it doesn't speak it's display. I'm curious as to the name "duet", it's only got the one speaker, what has it got to of? Regards.
