Would anyone have recommendations on a radio suitable for an older person?
Requirements that are apparent to me: VHF/FM, other bands and digital not needed; at least three presets selectable by button; buttons as large as possible; on/off by button (slider switch unsuitable I think); battery and mains operated -- external transformer ('wart') okay. Data display (broadcaster indicator) would be nice; mono fine; not tiny, thinking of controls and speaker size.
Incidentally, a few years ago I bought similar spec. radios in Maplin and Boots and in each case the tuner (or sensitivity at the RF end?) was quite inadequate; ditto for the FM of a DAB radio (Red) bought in Sainsburys; DAB fine, FM useless.
Since we are in an area of marginal reception for some stations, this is probably the most important criterion. A small radio (?? make, model) does work fine in the location (Donegal, N.W. Ireland), so reception is available, but that has fiddly analogue / mechanical controls.
I have a Sony model ICF-7600DA bought nearly twenty years ago that is a reasonably close fit.
Any suggestions?
TIA,
Jon C.
