My friend gave me this. Actually 2 of them. They did duty for a married couple in the bush in Kenya on geological explorations. This one does not work on speaker, the other only works on FM. I can’t say that it is a user friendly device, the instruction book is a nightmare, but it has given me a lot of fun. Better than doom scrolling all day! I have been listening to BBC but no specific
frequencies listed for South Africa. Performance was poor until I stretched its own long wire across in front of the windows as suggested here. The frequency shown is for East Africa and was working well this earlier this evening. It has FM and SSB. I must see about an external aeriel to improve matters.
