Bought this to replace my Roberts Sports Radio 925 which had finally given up the ghost. As these radios don't appear to be available any more this appeared to be the perfect replacement. And it's a great little radio, maybe not quite the build quality of the Roberts but a snip at the price. I wanted it, particularly, to have the LW facility for the cricket and it does along with FM & MW. The sports channels are highlighted with colour dots for Radio 5 Live, Test Match Special and Talk Sport for ease of tuning. Can't fault it, brilliant in the garden & lightweight enough to use on a walk using the headphones that come with it. Radio Caroline is now on 648Khz so when there isn't any football or cricket, there's your perfect music listening station!

Well, for the money and its good looks it is certainly ground breaking but it does suffer from lack of maximum volume potential, additionally, after a few moments use the volume control seized up but taking it apart and giving the volume control a squirt of 3 in 1 oil fixed this.

I imagine that a big part of the market for a long wave radio would be TMS listeners, that is certainly why I bought it. The manufacturer has responded to the market by marking the TMS position on the waveband along with Radio 5 Live and Talk Sport. In summary this radio is specifically aimed at the sport listening market. It is easy to tune to any of the three channels. Of course it can also be tuned to any other wavebands. The sound quality is good for a small speaker. The earphones work fine if you want to keep the noise to a minimum. I bought this for a specific reason i.e. to listen to the cricket when I am fishing, for this purpose it is perfect.

I bought this as I fish alot and wanted a radio to listern to the sports chanels when on the bank, this radio has identified pre set indicators that you can tune into with ease,its light and easy to store and carry, overall this is a cracking radio that does what I wanted it for and it comes with an earpiece, would I buy another or recommend it..... Yes, there are bigger and better out there but this really is value for money.
