Thank you Roland.  What a shame about that preview, does anyone on list have 
the interview perhaps that you could send me off list?

Many thanks.

Eleanor

  Hi, Eleanor.

   

  Yes, the Concerto 2 - the new version of the Concerto, which British Wireless 
for the Blind Fund launched in July - auto-tunes both its DAB and FM stations.  
It gives audible feedback (tones and speech, I think) while its doing it.  It 
also has 5 presents for both DAB and FM.

   

  As you probably know, it's also a CD, USB and SD card player and has a 
built-in stereo cassette player and recorder.

   

  I'm a little rusty on the detail, but we ran an item on it (an interview with 
BWBF) in our various Infosound audio services back in July and August.  We only 
archive our material back a couple of months, so I'm afraid it's no longer up 
on our web site (www.infosound.org.uk) to listen to; but you can phone BWBF on 
01622 754757 or email them at info@xxxxxxxxxxxx for the full spec.

   

  Best wishes,

   

  Rowland

  I believe this radio is available from Wireless for the Blind.  Does anyone 
have one?  Can you tell me if it is accessable in terms of locating stations? 
Is it designed for the blind?
