Durable fm/am radio

[AndyE]

Has anyone come across a durable Fm/Am radio

Over the last few years i've gone through 6 cheap ones . Tecos . Argos etc I'm looking for something I don't have to hold onto the antenna to get decent reception
Preferably something smallish too

Degen 13 - am/fm/sw1/sw2 about 5" x 2." Wind up or solar or batteries. Usually on ebay. I have had one a good while with no probs.

Sony do some very nice radio's from about £30 up to £150. Compact but sensitive, this little one should suit your needs

Looks funky but solar instead of wind up as a back up? in the UK? Not good. That said Eton make some of the better budget radios, even the little mini 300(?) has a good radio in it.

I'd recommend a Freeplay Ranger. We've had ours for about 10 years, including 4 years daily use on a building site. It's mains rechargeable, wind up and has a solar panel too. Very rugged and excellent reception

Definately the best radio I've owned.
