Omega Rechargeable Portable 12-Band Radio

Regular portable radios can drain batteries fast which means they can become an expensive piece of kit as well as harmful to the environment.

This practical radio from brand leader Omega is the environmentally friendly radio with built-in rechargeable batteries, so you can listen away without having to constantly change batteries.

The Omega 12-band radio will receive long wave and short wave in addition to FM and MW and is ideal for listening to host of stations including BBC World Service, BBC Radio 4 split FM/LW transmissions, and for more distant stations from around Europe.

So simple to use - on the front of the radio there is a large tuning dial and frequency display, plus a power volume knob. A small button selects whether you wish to use the rechargeable batteries as the power source.
