One star is too much
One star is too much. I took it back today as after 10 days it stopped working. I tried it on another connection to the mains. It worked for a few days then stopped, so I have returned the radio. It seems to be the only AM/FM radio on the market around that price point which has a mains connection. I need this spec as it suits my sleep pattern, having it linked to a timer. DAB radios do not suit as the whole unit switches off, so cannot be easily turned back on when one is half asleep. Some modern technology is really not proper progress. I have had to buy the same model again but if you ask me for another review, expect me to be very cautious. I hope this time, it has not been put together so shoddily and it gives me decades of use as my previous radio did.

Hello, I can advise that, if you live in the London area, then you will find Capital Xtra on 96.9 and 107.1 FM. If you are outside London, then this radio station can be found on DAB only. Unfortunately this would mean that this Radio would be not able to play this station as it is not a DAB radio. Thank you for using Bush Q & A.
