I know this is not the SAME model but the comment about reception with the telescopic antenna might be salient?

I get it showing at £32.95 + VAT (£6.99)+ Postage (£7.00) = £46.94.
The OP isn't too far off. It's just under £40 before postage.In a rut? Can't get out? Don't know why?
It's time to make that change.
