    Hi. 

    i'm looking for a very user friendly radio. it doesn't have to have DAB/Wifi etc, fm would be grand, the others a bonus.
    the only thing is that everywhere i look, to change the station on the radio from one preset to another is getting very fiddly. you need to press preset, then + or -, then select. pure radios, while good and stylish, are a pain in the hole to change if it's dark! or you may need an app on your phone to change the station.
     
    what happened to radios where you just have 4 buttons on the top and they have the stations stored on them, like the clarus magicbox.

    if you have any suggestions on any such radio, that would be great. a clock would be handy too, but not necessary.

    Hi Ballsymchugh, many thanks for your p[ost.

    Unfortunately there is very little on the Market now that does have individual preset buttons, they all seem to be using a turn dial as they mostly all have Dab now
    There is only one model I could find that has these, but it may be a bit overkill for what you need - The Roberts Stream 93i - http://www.richersounds.ie/p-200930-roberts-stream-93i-soc.aspx at £139/€196. This is a Dab/FM radio but also has bluetooth and WIfi/DLNA for streaming music from the likes of Spotify etc

    Have a look and let me know your thoughts

    Regards
    Brian
