Default Re: Hacker Sovereign II (RP25) tuning extended to 104 Mhz?

My next Hacker might well be a later Sov III but for now, I have now I have no use for a radio that does not receive my local stations.

But everyone keeps telling me just how wonderful these Sov II's are and indeed my late Mum always said that she wanted one but ended up with a Radionette as at the time none was available. So this was my chance to try out one against my Diplomat. I think the Diplomat has the edge for sound quality, may be because it has a bigger cabinet?

The Sov II has the far superior build quality and attention to detail though.

I have to say though that the Radionette was also extremely good for build and sound quality but lacked the bass and treble controls, would mind getting one of these either but have not seen one for years.
