When it comes to seeking reviews of worldband receivers there are several
excellent sites.

But what is the situation when one is looking for reveiws of non-worldband
radios? Radios that only cover LW, MW and FM? It seems that this catagory
of radio does not attract the same attention when it comes to reviews.

Can anybody direct me to any review pages where I can find articles on
these non-worldband radios?

TIA.

Well, here in the US there are only a small handful of them that are any
good at all. There's the GE Superradio, and the Henry Kloss gadget and
that is about it these days. Unless you are talking about devices intended
for special purposes, like the Magnum Dynalab tuners or modulation monitors.

Can you still get the Roberts radios in the UK? They used to have at least
acceptable RF stages.

No, the name [Roberts] got bought by some Far Eastern firm, possibly
Sangean.

Roberts is owned by Glenn Dimplex group. SOME of the radios are made
by Sangean -- I recognized some models that I've seen under other name
brands here in the USA - some are sold as Sangeans here in the USA
also.

I don't know if others in the Lifetime range are also made by
Sangean.

If so, they may be specifically made for Roberts since they're not on
Sangean's website and do not appear under other brand names in other
markets.
