He seems he's intersted in selling. Maybe I could get an R881 for £50.
That might be good way to go! If he will sell for say £45 or £50, I think
I might go for the R881, instead of the R9940. No LW or RDS though, but
has shortwave.

I'm phoning him up tomorrow.

Ha! decisions decisions.

Nice radio, LW, RDS, but no SW. About £60.

No LW no RDS, but SW.

I bet I can pick this upfor £45 from my mate.

LW, no RDS, but SW. About £100.

LW, noRDS, but shortwave.

Nice! But over my price range.


Am I going to bother with LW when I go on holiday to Bridlington? Nah!

Do I really need RDS when I go on holiday to Bridlington? Nah!

Will I need SW when I go on holiday toBridlington? Nah, probably not.

Looks like R881 then, unless it's significantly inferior to R9940,
especially on FM.
