Yes, to check this I just did a search for BBC using this radio, got a whole list of local BBC stations (Manchester, etc, etc) plus BBC Radio 1,2,3,4, etc. I chose BBC Radio 4, selected it, and began listening. This internet radio is a dream come true.

yes, I just tried it. any station that streams on the web will play on this. I have three of this model and another model from Grace. Easy to search stations. took me about 15 seconds to find your station

Yes you can. I live in San Diego and I just tried it. I'm listening to BBC4 now.

"BBC Radio 4" can be added to your radio's list via the Reciva web page. There is a healthy list of "BBC Radio" choices.

Unfortunately no, it is. FM only. Reception on FM is also unfortunately poor.

You have to set it to international mode first. There are instructions in the reviews somewhere or I think you can google it. The mode is hidden, but it's there. Most US stations don't go down that far, so it should be fairly clear most anywhere in the US.

You can stream many international stations on the Internet these days. There's plenty of shortwave to listen to, particularly if you aren't limiting yourself to English. China has an aggressive schedule, and Spanish Foreign Radio is quite active. This particular radio is a single-conversion unit and not really anything great. If you are looking for a comprehensive answer, I suggest you spend a couple of bucks and get Ken Reitz's book "How to Listen to the World."

ALL FM stations in the US are on odd multiples of 0.1 MHz. For example, 88.1, 88.3, 88.5, .... 107.9. So a receiver made to work with the US system (such as this one) should not get the even multiples (88.2, 88.4, etc.). Your radio is working exactly as it should.

Yes,you should have no problem doing that. Under " My local stations" You will have access to most FM and AM local radio stations thru the internet. But you will also have the option to search FM stations broadcasted "over the air".

I would think that you can. However it would be best to ask the cruise line and make sure that the country you are going to allows you to use the radio.

Yes, this one has a 3-pronged plug that goes into a US 3-prong, but if you have a UK adapter you should be able to use it.

You must know the transmitting frequency of your radio. If it falls within beofang frequency parameters you should be able to use them

For the most part yes. since this radio was built in a foreign country, there operating laws pertaining to Radio models are different than those of the United States. 90 percent of the frequencies accessible on this radio require a special license, however there are licensed free frequencies available for use, however the power and special requirements are still required to use in the United States.

The radio is sold internationally, so that for greater voltage should be available. Please check with the seller. I really like mine. I know that it uses a transformer for a 8.5 volts in the USA. There should be some sort of what you need there. It is just a matter of voltage. It does use a transformer. I know that. I know there is a converter to go from voltage of other countries to that of the USA. Surely there is the opposite too, if needed.

You can, but the device would not tune to a station the second time I tried it. It was useless

I don't know. I use this radio like any other and change stations according to what I want to listen to. No expert on this so hope my answer helps.

Your friend will not have any problems at all. I used the radio at night to listen to Coast to Coast AM. This show comes on at 1 am and is off at 5 am. My husband is sound asleep and the lights are off and I have learned to maneuver all the buttons in the dark. I have even learned to count the number of finger taps on the tuning button to change channels between one favorite channel to another favorite channel. I have pre set some channels but not all. And this radio picks up stations (at night) from Chicago, Charlotte, Boston, NYC, Philly, and some channel in Alabama sometimes, FLA. It's unbelievable. I live in northern Virginia outside of DC. I love this radio.

No, you can not. Despite their claims, you can not listen to the stations of your choice. The stations must provide the proper MP3 format, and many have other formats, if any. This item sits here on my desk, unused and unusable for the purpose I was lead to believe it would fulfill.
