Hello, Thanks for all the comments.

OK I've done a few more tests:

i) Radio No 3 now running , but no reboots as yet , but have seen
buffering / silence for a few seconds..?

ii) I've taken the  mains adapter from Radio No 2 which has definitely
rebooted whilst listening to LBC radio. Solid 18V measured on the DC
jack plug. I've then loaded with an artificial resistive load 20R ,
close to 1A load. That's nearly 20 Watts! and they get warm too.
Measured voltage a solid 17.8V which I reckon is pretty good. OK only
measured on a mulitmeter. Admittedly not dynamic testing but a good
first pass to check. I'd have to say based on this measurement I don't
think the power supply is the issue and think we should eliminate as a
the cause.  As I've at least 2 radios that do this , it's looking
unlikely in my eyes.

iii) A an app on my Android phone (RaspController) allows me to see the
percentage of CPU activity on my Raspberry Pi/Squeezeserver when
listening to the Squeezebox radio or using the Touch units. With LBC
running there's a approx. 1% activity. So doesn't indeed looks as if its
involved.

So my thoughts are in no specific order (a) Its a firmware issue on the
Radio decoding this type of station/stream  (b) Its a ISP / networking /
router issue (c) It's a hardware/design fault as common to more than one
example (less likely)  (d) Something else not yet identified ? 

I've starting to favour (a) or (b) above but not sure how to home in.
I'd guess another brand/device tuned to the same URL. 

Any new thoughts ?
