Re: Compare barefoot Sihuadon R-108 and Roberts R 9947
Nice Peter, it makes me even more frustrated at my situation! I'll give it another week and then decide whether or not to part the case and see if there's anything obvious or sell it for parts.

Re: New arrival Sihuadon R-108
Oh dear, sorry about that Drifter.
I was thinking about returning my R-108 and ordering the £33 one. A Bird In The Hand Is Worth Two In The Bush springs to mind.

Re: Retekess V115 for recording of FM Radio - Questions please?
Not top notch in terms of sensitivity, but I guess better than most "ordinary" sets. On FM it compares favourably with my old Sony ICF2001D. On MW & SW the Sony is way better of course.

Re: New arrival Sihuadon R-108
Hi Peter
As you say, there's a significant price difference and I've always had excellent service from them, all that remains now is to see what their response is to this situation. I'll update

Re: New arrival Sihuadon R-108
Thanks for that Drifter. Some items ship from the UK, including the R-108.
Presumably VAT is included.
There prices are significantly lower than Amazon UK.

Re: New arrival Sihuadon R-108
Hi Peter
I bought it directly from XHDATA as I have in the past. I chose the grey version which I prefer and I think it's identical but I've re-packed it ready to return, assuming I get the option.

It might be a clone, but even geographic originals can have quality problems.
Maybe I should give my originally happy but now corroded AR1733 a clean-up chance . . .
