Freeplay Lifeline
I recieved something that I ordered over the net from C. Crane, and was
flipping through the catalog they included when I noticed, on page 25, a Freeplay Lifeline radio. It says that this radio is made for humanitarian projects in the third world and is sold to Americans exclusively by C. Crane. It appears to be a four band radio, with FM, AM, and two SW bands covering 3.5-10 and 10-18 Mhz. The ad has a picture of an African boy working in a field while listening to this radio, but that radio appears to be different-it has a red and white dial instead of a blue and white dial. I was wondering if anybody owns a Freeplay Lifeline and can comment on it. I assume that the SW bands are good only for regional reception, so in the US you'd only hear bible thumpers. At $99.95 it's quite expensive, I don't see how they can afford to give them away to people in Africa. Page 78 of the catalog shows a Rwandan girl with a Lifeline, and it IS different-the dial is marked with the Voice of America logo. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
