Hi Jackie -
No, I won't send it back, I'm really quite happy with it.
Ah well, nurses wondering how we manage to operate radios has to be an
improvement on "who dresses you?" <smile> -

| Hi Andy
|
| Yes that is unfortunate. Would you send it back to see if another one did
| exactly the same? I suppose there might be a slight variation between
| different radios of the same ilk. I know that the newer of my Move radios
| was ever so slightly less inclined to gargle and splutter while I was in
| hospital. The DAB signal in there was ok, but I had to re-scan the band a
| couple of times because it broke up a bit. I discovered the older one of
| the two was slightly worse for that on DAB.
|
| One or two of the nurses asked me if DAB radio got anything else other
than
| football on it, as they said it appeared to be always on when they came
into
| sort me out. That really made me laugh. And some of them didn't even
know
| about DAB, so they wanted to see what stations I could get on it. They
also
| wondered how people with no sight manage to access digital radios.
|
| DAB still isn't as popular as the media would have you believe.
