I received a Christmas list, looking for

A long wave radio, but one that does not use AA batteries, just the large batteries!!??

I know previous posters has suggested internet radios, and 5 years ago I bought a really good DAB one.

This is for using in the shed, no Internet access, Internet radios use too much data, we pay enough, it's still rural broadband and very hard to get and costly, this is not an option.

Can anyone recommend something that I could buy in this regard, any help or advice,

Roberts kitchen radio is your best bet.

The type you actually want hasn't been made since the 1980s.

Roberts Radio / Alarm clock radio every time. Just double check it has LW listed because the odd one doesn't have LW.

For a basic radio my recommendation would be one of these

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Roberts-R9993-3-Band-Portable-Radio/dp/B000B5TX66
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Roberts-Radio-Classic-R9954-Portable/dp/B000KG49SS
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Roberts-R9927-Radio-Separate-Controls/dp/B0000C77TE

in order of cheapest to most expensive, we've had the R9927 for about 15 years, its used primarily for BBC radio 4 on LW, good reception.

If you want a retro looking one then Roberts also have that covered. Euronics have a few models including the R9927 if you want to take a look at or buy one in a bricks and motar shop.

Thank you,

I was surprised to be asked for such an old radio, and battery size specific.

I will check out our recommendations, appreciate the time taken to reply.
