We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember Dave Starling
saying something like:

That said it would be nice to have the ability to playback
from SD. I guess in a couple of years time we will have the £50 range
of ghetto blasters that have this capability.

Plenty around already.

My car radio can record/replay from SD too. Can't say I've ever used it in
anger.

What - £50 ghetto blaster with DAB and SD record/play?

Any makes/models you've come across / could recommend?

I've got a truly ancient AM radio I built from a kit some 40 odd years
ago. Not a pocket set but full sized portable with 7x4" speaker. Plenty
loud enough to fill a room. PP9 battery lasts about 6 months of heavy use.
Not that it gets that these days. ;-)

I had one of the early Trevor Bayliss Freeplay radios. It would run for
almost an hour on a wind at the sort of volume I listen. It could also
bang out some loud noise if required, because apparently that was a plus
point for the African market. Sadly someone loaned it to a friend who
broke it by overwinding. Same friend never quite got around to replacing
it and I don't like the current replacements.
