Hi David, I think that the price is to great for a radio thatg will as you say will be of no use after 2015.

If so, £75 is a lot of cash for soemthing only useful for five years. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]On Behalf Of Jackie Cairns Sent: 02 July 2010 09:41 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Talking Radio Hi David Yes I saw this, and was disappointed that DAB isn't a runner. Perhaps a bit late in the day for a talking radio we've been accessing without speech now for years, but a useful product for some. But don't Cobolt do something similar, or is this the same?
