Default Re: What radios are you currently using?

Quite unashamedly, the main current use for most of the 300-odd radios here is that it delights and engages me to see them and to know and imagine their histories. Listening is to the World Service, Radios 4 and 3, now and again 5 or Norfolk, and sometimes a spin around the short waves. In regular or frequent use, then, are:

Sitting room - Panasonic RF-9000, Pure DRX-601EX (first generation DAB), an Integral from Lithuania (NOS a couple of years ago, a 60th birthday present to myself).

Library - Roberts RD1, early DAB/FM

Kitchen - Roberts RD6, early DAB/FM

Bedroom - sleep and alarm functionality required, so a Bose Wave Radio/CD on my good lady's side of the bed and a Pure Bug on mine.

There's always a choice of Hacker and other portables to accompany time in the attics, and a few valve sets are exercised often enough to keep their capacitors in shape (I hope).
