| 163898 | 2003-07-30 08:42:00 | Hi Team I just renewed my PCW subscription (the least I could do for all the fun I have on PF1, plus its a darned good read every month) and I am tickled pink with the free radio.:D It is an amazing performer for its size and is a real cutie to look at. Plugging in a big set of headphones makes it even more impressive. Anybody else received one and tried it? Cheers Billy 8-{) [b][pre]Ain't technology grand? |

| 163899 | 2003-07-30 08:57:00 | I've still got about 6 months before mine comes up for renewal... otherwise I'd definitely be in. | -=JM=- (16) | ||
| 163900 | 2003-07-31 06:56:00 | I got my radio, but it didn't work - so I kept the batteries and headphones and threw the rest in the bin. | flyer590 (2523) | ||

| 163902 | 2003-07-31 07:46:00 | Gee, that's a bit radical flyer. :O Are you sure you operated it correctly.?:| You do have to do the right things to bring up the stations, including putting the batteries in around the right way.;) Cheers Billy 8-{) :D [b][pre]I'm sure PCW would send you a new one if you asked them nicely. |

| 163903 | 2003-07-31 08:51:00 | Yes, they are cute radios! Here,s a Consumer consumer's story. (No I didn't make a typo error). I renewed my subscription to Consumer magazine and received a free radio, similar to the PCWorld ones. :) One earpiece had a broken housing, although it still worked. :( In correct 'consumer' fashion, I sent a nicely worded letter asking if they had a spare earpiece to replace the faulty one. Within a couple of days a complete new radio arrived with a nice letter of apology and a statement saying that I could keep the original too. :) Free advert: Buy Consumer Magazine. :D For those who are wondering about the PCWorld radios, they have three controls. A volume control, a scan button and a reset button. The earpiece cord acts as an aerial, so needs to be fairly well extended for best reception. You click the scan button and it automatically goes to the next station. Click it again and it finds the next one. When you get to the last available station, you press reset to start at the beginning again. BTW, it works on FM only. (Also, although it is quite fast, give the poor thing time to think when clicking on buttons, don't expect to play it like a piano. :p) Free advert: Buy NZPCWorld Magazine. :D |

| 163904 | 2003-07-31 10:41:00 | You forgot to mention the built-in torch exLL, that's a novelty in itself though it's not much use for anything beyond finding a keyhole. Cheers Billy 8-{) :D |

Mine hasn't got that! :( Oh well, I still like my 'old basic model'. :) Cheers. |

| 163906 | 2003-07-31 21:13:00 | Yes, FM only, RadioSport is only AM. I hate that. Cellphones with radios are only FM, lots of tiny radios are only FM. NBG if you want to hear some cricket or rugby. etc. robo. |

| 163907 | 2003-07-31 22:21:00 | You need to migrate to the Hutt Robo. Radio Sport's on AM & FM + cable broadband & TV (Saturn TV, Sky sport & movies, perfect reception all the time) When did you re-newI your subscription Mr T, I must have got one of the last CD wallets. The first mag in the subscription arrived the other day. Hmm, Radio Sport while I work, would be nice. Cheers Murray P |
