Comments

The Evoke-3's killer feature is a large LCD screen that shows a full programme guide for national stations, allowing for one-touch recording to a removable memory card. Sound quality is excellent, thanks in part to its beautiful solid wood case, but the menus, while comprehensive, can be a little confusing at times. An excellent, environmentally-friendly choice, it has been designed to minimise power consumption both in use and standby. For anyone who plans on recording radio, this is the only choice here among those tested for December 2008, and it easily justifies its price.
