Advantages: Reception is crystal clear, I managed to get reception through double glazing,as it rains all the time in manchester., Large LCD display

Disadvantages: While using worldspace,batteries can run out quite fast., A slight movement of the antenna greatly affects reception., Some stations broadcast only for a limited time.

I have been using this portable worldspace receiver for 6 months now.

In that time i think i have evaluated it thoroughly enough.I have used it in kenya,east africa,and in the united kingdom;Manchester and scotland.
These areas are covered by the Afristar beam,scotland being on the outer most part of coverage.
In my opinion,it is quite a brilliant piece of equipment.For the price you pay for it it is definitely a wise buy.
In summary i have here it's pros and cons (some of them)

Pros: 1.Simple operation and electrical compatibility.
2.Simple assembly.

cons: 1.When you put the power off,preset stations may be erased,so you have to leave it on stand-by.
2.Doesn't produce sound in stereo unless connected to an amplifier via lineout.
