Hi Dave -- I just checked into that -- you have to send your order email to
export_oxford_street@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
containing the catalog number and name of the product(s) and your name and
address and email addy and they will email you the cost in US dollars and
you go from there.
BUt wait a minute -- Lloyd R on the gui-talk list says it might not work in
the US due to the bands that are used in the UK that are different from
those here. I have sent an email asing if it will pick up FM radio and I
haven't gotten an answer yet.
So please wait and I'll post what I find out in a little bit.
Take care.

Pure Sonus 1XT, £119, 08456 049 049;
www.johnlewis.co.uk
As more and more digital radios appear on the market, it is increasingly
difficult for manufacturers to be heard - which, I assume, is why Pure has
launched
a DAB radio that can shout down all the competition. That's right - it
talks. Or maybe I'm just being cynical, as the Royal National Institute of
the Blind
was involved in the development of the Sonus 1XT. And it will make life a
lot easier for those visually impaired. Using a human voice (you can pick
male
or female), it tells you the available stations as you scroll through them,
and if you tap the SnoozeHandle, you'll get a speaking clock; tap it twice
and it lets you know the alarm settings. It can verbally guide you through
setting up the radio and you can turn the speech off.
Another great idea for all users is its Volume Equalisation Technology,
which enables the radio to monitor and adjust the audio levels of every
station,
so the volume stays at your chosen level.
Whether you think the Sonus is a gimmick, or a great idea, it is a
well-made, well-thought-out radio with a reasonable price tag.
