Roberts Gemini 3 DAB Radio

...now the owner of a Roberts Gemini 3 Digital Radio. Looks Well to be honest, it looks very much like any other radio - in fact in comparison to other digital radios I've seen, it actually looks rather old fashioned. It's mostly chrome with the whole of the front being the speaker, except a band across the top which has an LCD screen and all the necessaries knobs and buttons for tuning, volume, etc. Juice My radio can either be operated on the mains ...
...this is not the first Roberts radio I have owned. I also have a portable radio cassette recorder which is still going strong after much use. In fact, if I was going out to buy a digital radio, it is very likely I would have gone for a Roberts model - they are known for their excellence in the portable radio market. Price Did I mention mine was free!! For those who have to buy their radio - this model costs around £140 in store, and about £10 cheaper ...

Review of Roberts Gemini 3 DAB Radio

...I decided to buy the Roberts Gemini 3 radio. The Roberts Gemini 3 Well after parting with just short of £140 at Argos it was back home to give my new radio a go and put it through its paces. I unboxed the radio and found a standard figure of 8 mains lead and a well written book of instructions. The radio itself unlike the many retro look models around looks a nice modern styling with a sloped control panel and display. The display is backlit ...
...a short time after a button press on batteries. I extended the telescopic aerial and pressed the autotune button, not the radio did a thorough scan of the DAB band 3 radio band, finding all the stations that the Portal 2 had refused to receive. I had a listen to Planet Rock and found the audio quality very rich with lots of bass available. There are rotary controls for bass and treble to adjust for personal taste. I found the bass still quite ...

Review of Roberts Gemini 3 DAB Radio

I bought Roberts Gemini RD3 (my first DAB Digital Radio) to add to the growing collection of Roberts Radios in my house. I generally ADORE Roberts Radios - their sound quality, build quality, features and reliability have always really impressed me. However, I have to say the Roberts Gemini RD3 was a bit of a disappointment. Its main good points are the typical Roberts Build Quality & Looks, and its EXCELLENT sound quality when it comes to playing ...
...feature. * The internal mains adapter makes an unusually loud 'hummmmm' when connected to the mains!! To summarise - the Roberts RD3 may be the latest technology & may have cost £140, but I still prefer to use my trusty old Roberts R9906 Analogue model costing £50 !!!! ...

Review of Roberts Gemini 3 DAB Radio

...unsuspecting public, and I bought Roberts purely on reputation alone. Not long after delivery the volume control started acting up, you know the type, where you have to keep taping the knob to hear anything. Well this continiued for months, just before the gauruntee expired I sent it back to Roberts and explained the problem. The technician only had to turn it on and he would have heard the problem... so I thought. It was returned a couple of weeks ...
...like I will have to take it to an independant repairer. I will never buy another Roberts radio, and I would advise any potential buyers to look elsewhere.. I am very dissapointed with thier aftersales. Just for the sake of a volume control costing a couple of quid. Jlayden@gotadsl.co.uk ...
