If I dont get an answer this could lead to seperate bedrooms ..... for SWMBO
 She has decided to start listening to ABC radio @ 4:30 in the mourning :rolleyes: so I am on the desperate hunt for a bedside clock with radio (ABC reception) and bluetooth so she can/will be forced to usde headphones or earplugs.

I often sleep with the radio on all night. Been doing it for years.

Tonz assuming your profile is up to date, I checked the internet and the ABC is on the AM band which makes it difficult.
An internet radio might be an option. You can buy kits to add Bluetooth capability to an existing radio. Last edited by EBSXR6; Today at 12:00 PM. |

Any mod to the existing radio if it doesn't have a headphone socket, would be a bit involved b/c it needs to cut out the existing speaker. Do-able, but bit of mucking around. Just did a search and not much available for what you want. What's the ABC radio reception like in Pt Lincoln? If its broadcast from a local antenna, especially if its DAB (digital) you may have some modern options. Edit. Just had a good look, not much available at all. Doing your own mod might be the only option. Old school AM/FM radio are cheap, probelm is the cheap Chinese ones are useless for weaker signals out in the country.

I use a Logitech Squeezebox as a bedside radio, as I stream UK evening shows, in the morning
 https://download01.logitech.com/support/24377.1.0.pdf it's got a headphone socket not sure if you can still buy them new, but there must be similar ones around, or ebay? |

This is only one I could find with headphone jack, iTOMA 728, cheapest price is on amaozon. Its DAB and FM, not AM.
Everything is bluetooth in. None I could find with bluetooth out (for bluetooth headphone), so you would need a separate bluetooth audio transmitter dongle (with aux jack). |
