>> Hi Carol

>> In answer to your first question, the Roberts Play definitely has five
>> preset buttons on the radio which, when pressed and held in for a few
>> seconds, will store your favourite stations. Then you can press
>> whichever
>> one you have designated for that station to go directly to it.

>> As regards size and sound quality, the Play is thicker and slightly

>> does everything I require.
>>
>> If you didn't come across it in John Lewis, you can get it direct from
>> British Wireless for the Blind Fund for I think £60, or from Roberts
>> themselves.
>>
>> As an aside to this thread, I have been sent a very basic AM/FM personal
>> radio made by Sony to review. It is not DAB, but all the buttons on it

>> Hi all,

>> it
>> will always take you to that station, once you have set up the preset?
>>
>> If you can answer that you do, my furhter questions are concerned with

>>
>> This will hopefully narrow down our selection.
>>
