the Freeplay Summit radio I purchased early last year is working a treat here in Samoa, picking up shortwave clearly and reliably and charging itself on my window sill from the sun's rays (which are not always reliable here in the wet season!). Indispensible.

The application of the company’s technology has had a significant role in promoting education and access to life-changing information to isolated communities in the developing world: to date, over 100,000 Lifeline radios (powered by Freeplay technology) are being used in humanitarian projects in over 20 countries.

I can certainly commend the New Internationalist for quick postage & handling - I ordered it on the web and it arrived at my door within 2-3 days, awesome compared to the usual 1 month+ with Amazon!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:

Q: The Freeplay Summit radion has digital tuning with 30 station presets. Does this mean it will receive the new Digital Radio stations?
A: No. To receive Australian Digital Radio you need a special DAB+ receiver. The digital tuning on the Summit simply provides for quick and convenient change of stations, similar to the push-button tuning in a car radio.

Q: Will Australian AM and FM stations be switched off soon, now that Digital Radio has been introduced?
A: No. There is no current plan to switch off AM and FM stations.

Q: How long will the Summit play without recharging?
A: Fully charged battery = 20 hours (at normal volume). 30-second wind = 30 minutes (at normal volume). Playtime will vary depending on the volume setting. You can keep the Summit solar-charged by simply keeping it in a sunny window-sill. In direct sunlight the Summit will charge itself and play continuously.
