Roberts R9994 
Editor's rating
4.8
out of 5

The R9994 is a reincarnated Roberts R984.

This model has a small loudspeaker, whereas the R984 was earphones-only.
Like its predecessor, the R9994 offers FM, MW and LW reception. With the plugs for the BBC Test Match Special and Radio Live on the radio’s front, this model is obviously targeted at listeners to sprorts programming on AM bands. The radio comes with earphones and a detachable belt clip.
The radio has analogue tuning, so finding a station can be a bit hit and miss, but it generally worked well for strong stations. Useful Tuning and Stereo LEDs show when you are tuned to a strong station. There are no presets with this radio.
The earphones lead works as an FM aerial, so when using earphones the lead needs to be extended to obtain the best reception. A ‘pigtail’ wire aerial is provided for FM when earphones are not being used. MW and LW reception utilizes a separate aerial built into the radio.
Loudspeaker sound volume is obviously limited in a small personal radio, but was perfectly adequate. Over earphones a slight hiss was noticeable while listening on all bands. On FM, switching from FM stereo to mono did not remove this.

A decent enough model, though Robet's styling is a bit boring nowadays.
