   I simply want to listen to BBC (mostly radio 4) in the simplest   
   possible way when I'm away from home in Europe mainland.  I.e. I want   
   something I can just 'turn on' (like radios used to work).   
      
   At the moment Radio 4 on 198khz is the best option but I don't know   
   how long that is going to last.
