Blaupunkt Canberra C31

Advantages: Excellent radio both at FM & AM
Disadvantages: Tape player (No CD)

...this blaupunkt car radio has an excellent radio front end at both FM & (mostly) AM! Its ability to receive AM (MW) radio broadcasts with the usual very short FM whip antennas that are commonly found at newer cars, is a real plus! And the sound on AM isn't bad at all. It does have a good AM IF bandwidth filter probably, that allow you to listen good sounded AM stations, with a quality (at least an AM quality that most newer radios doesn't provide for the forgotten ? MW band), while keeping the selectivity needed for first adjacent channel intereference out. A better noise blanker filter, or a faster AGC wil help a little at city terrains where the manmade static noises are higher! For FM the sound is good (take in account the overcompressed FM modulated signals that most stations have now) and its sensitivity is good enough to get...

Blaupunkt TravelPilot Lucca 3.5 Edition : Stylish and functional.

Advantages: Lots of features.
Disadvantages: Takes a minute to pick up a signal.

...on your chosen type of route or speed profile.Choose your route to avoid motorways, toll charges, ferries, tunnels, or even seasonal changes. This can add miles to your route! *It also comes with a TMC aerial to monitor messages from radio stations updating traffic conditions, although I've never bothered with this. *Comes with maps of Western Europe on a DVD ( worth about 60GBP ), you will need an SD card to transfer these to. The satnav can be set to different languages. Updates for the maps are available on the internet. *The signal is generally good, it takes minute or so to find a satellite once you switch it on. When I first got mine it tended to freeze up sometimes, probably from the heat ... but it works fine now. *Another thing I like about it is that I can slip it easily into my pocket, it's only about 20mm thick...

BBC Radio 1 Review

Advantages: Great Djs, Good music, Funny
Disadvantages: Run by BBC

...Hi today i will be reviewing BBC Radio 1. I usually listen to Radio 1 at night as its something to do while trying to get to sleep (not a bad thing!). I personally enjoy the Chris Moyles Show and Scott Mills mainly because I find Chris funny and Scott has some great features from the old angry pizza man wind up to the new Whats Becky's Forté which features Becky the Assistant Producer trying to find that talent she excels at. The Chris Moyles show is different than most other shows on Radio 1 in that its not just the presenter that gets involved the whole team have a great time and in turn help you to get ready for whatever your going to. During the day there is Jo Whiley, Sarah Cox and Edith Bowman. I personally don't listen to these just because I'm usually busy. For the few times I have listened to them they do film...

Review of Real Radio Scotland

Radio 2 -- Easy Listening With Style!

Advantages: Diverse shows that appeal across the spectrum
Disadvantages: The mix can be a little strange at times.

...I always find it surprising as to the diversity of Radio 2, the schedule on any given night could contain a short half hour program about Folk music and another night a program about Theatre organs can be heard, I have listened to both and realised there is more to life than listening to such stations as Happy FM (or Capital) that tend to play the same record over and over again every two hours. Besdes these stations appear to be aimed at someone about 15 years younger than myself anyway. Radio 2 on the other hand caters for people of my age and boy they certainly deliver, I always tend to be in the car coming home or going somewhere when Elaine Paige is broadcasting. Sometimes the journey can be from hell at worst and other times just damn right boring. So to experience the diversity that Radio 2 offer on a Sunday is a bonus...

...And Your Radio's Def When My Record's On

Advantages: Classic Hip Hop
Disadvantages: A couple of the tunes are a little weak

..."Radio" is the debut release from LL Cool J, a rapper who has stuck with his record label, Def Jam since its creation a year before this album came out. LL's 1985 record came 23 years before his latest release "Exit 13" which recently came out, and so clearly this one shows how long he's been in the game, and the progression he has made. Upon release, Ladies Love Cool James (LL Cool J), the MC was only 17 years old, and had shown strong potential, which he clearly lived up to. 1. "I Can't Live Without My Radio" The track which the album is named after is the one to get things started for this album as you have LL Cool J come on some hard Rick Rubin beats about how his life revolves around his radio, and the music which it plays for him. Thsi is a powerful way to kick it all off, and you are bound to enjoy it. **Four Stars** 2...

Blaupunkt TravelPilot in Fords

Advantages: An idea if you really don't know the area.
Disadvantages: Limited, outdated mapping, not so easy to use

...In our brand new Fiesta, delivered this month, the Blaupunkt TravelPilot comes fitted in a unit combined with the radio. To try this system out, over a period of three weeks, and a total of about 600 miles, entirely within my home county of West Yorkshire, i ran the TravelPilot alongside my own local knowledge of the area built up over 17 years of driving around the area. To enter a destination it is necessary to go through a menu and a series of entries not wholly unlike entering a text message on a mobile phone. There is a form of predictive texting, which can be quite useful. The problem I found, though, was that before I could find the way to, say, Huddersfield Police Station I needed to know what road it is in. There seems to be no provision for places like hospitals or police stations as destinations. Back to the Ato...

Review of Blaupunkt Travel Pilot DX-N

The funky looking handy shower radio:)

Advantages: Very Loud, Clear Speaker, Long battery Life
Disadvantages: Annoying Tuning

...Hello and welcome to this review This is one funky radio! Gone are the days of silent showers, I now blast this handy gadget every morning. I personally recieved this radio as a gift and I am extremely pleased with it. The radio is a very nice design. It is an exact replica of Homers Head from the World Famous simpsons programme. The picture above shows what the radio looks like^ The radio comes in a very nice looking box, its very colourful in the simpsons way! and would easily capture someones eye in a shop. The nice box also makes this a great gift for anyone. When the Homer radio comes out of the box it is almost ready for instant use. Just open the battery compartment and pop in the batteries and Away You Gooo! One thing I noticed when I opened the box is how good the quality of this radio is. It feels very strong...

Review of Wesco WF002 Homer HEAD Radio

A useful accessory. Not the best radio.

Advantages: Useful remote for your iPod. Extra earphones. Well integrated with the software.
Disadvantages: Expensive. Not a good quality radio.

...This thing is overpriced. £35 to have a function that should be built into an ipod as standard. Having said that you can often buy them for half that price on ebay and they are quite useful - it is not just a radio but also a remote and a spare pair of heaphones (with a nice shorter cable). As a replacement pair of original Apple headphones are close to £20, you may as well shop around for this little bundle instead. Even if you do not want a radio it is nice to keep your iPod in your bag or coat and control it with a Shuffle style remote. I used to have a Griffin radio and remote for my iPod (Griffin 9125-IFM30 iFM - FM Radio and Remote for iPod) . It was okay and I think the radio had better reception. I still prefer the Apple version as the control for the remote is similar to the one on the iPod (and identical to that on the i...

My local Radio Station

Advantages: Peak shows are excellent
Disadvantages: None

...My local Radio Station. Let me tell you a bit about my local radio station. Based in Liverpool city centre in the most prominent of positions visible for miles around is what is now know as the Radio City Tower. Prior to Radio City taking over this venue a few years ago it had been left empty when the previous occupant vacated. Initially it was a revolving restaurant the top of a tower. Tower is cylindrical in shape and looks like it has a large flying saucer sitting on the top with radio antenna sticking up into the sky. Transmission coverage - North West and North Wales but if you do not live in the area you can always listen in on line. What do they do. Well they are a commercial radio station so there are always adverts between the songs but this is how they keep going and are able to grow every year into...
