Re: Multiband shortwave radio from Tesco.
I bought one on the way home (rather a roundabout one from Eynsham to Standlake via Abingdon!) and measured the current- it's about 50mA so I guess battery life around 20 hours or so.
Works OK though tuning "feel" is 'orrible and nothing like a normal set- more like something with heavy duty AFC you can't turn off even on AM.
