Got a 7 hour train journey net weekend.....just when England could be bowling the aussies out! My phone only does FM radio...any suggestions for something cheap that will recieve mw ( still 774?? )
Splash out on DAB
The chances of finding a MW capable mini radio that'll get a signal on a train for that long are pretty remote. Even FM will suck like a Dyson on a phone; I can actually [i]see[/i] my local transmitter from where I live, but it's almost impossible to get a signal on my old N95 at the back of the house. Even my car radio loses the signal three miles away. It's output is 2W, I kid you not, because all the old analogue transmitters are being wound down for Digital. Get a DAB.
Ridden with one of these

for years, great battery life and holds a signal pretty well - but medium wave not long wave so you won't get test match special - have to settle for radio 5...
