4.5 for P&P on an item that weighed a little over 100g and was sent in a Jiffy bag by second class post! Should have thought before I clicked.
As to the unit itself:-
1) Not very sensitive. I now live near High Wycombe, not I think an area of high signal strength, but hardly out in the sticks. The unit struggles to auto-tune, and if tuned manually reception is hissy. I think I will keep it for listening to the Today program, but only just.
2) Change the batteries and it seems to forget all its pre-sets!
3) The unit detects signal strength and switch to stereo when it is high enough. There is no over-ride of this. Stupidly, the levels at which it switches in and out of stereo seem identical (no hysteresis). So, disconcertingly it switches in and out of stereo at a rapid rate if the signal is marginal. The designer should be shot - no make that politically correct - fired.
So now, since I probably won't get my P&P back if I use the distance selling regualtions and return it, I have a hypothesis as to why so much of the total cost was made up by the P&P.
