Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Background: licensed ham radio (K4GPB) operator, since 1961. Tired of the current sunspot cycle and poor shortwave listening reception, so I bought this. I am normally not an early adopter of stuff.
Router is a WRT54GL, using WPA encryption. Set up and saving of profile was very easy.Router was 6 feet away.
WRE54G Range Expander also in use so I can go anywhere while in battery mode around the house with laptop or radio. (So I thought)
Had music playing after about 25 minutes out-of the-box. I quickly set 10 presets for all my usual live talk radio shows across the USA,TV sound, + BBC. 5 presets at the radio, and 5 additional ones from the remote. 16x2 display is nice and bright for sure
Tried to submit the MAC address at [...], but they are not yet set up for USA. Sigh.
I like the battery operated feature, for future sitting out on the screened porch this summer, hearing the BBC talk about the USA. 6 AA cells. Not many feature-loaded Internet radios can go portable.
The credit card size remote works fine.
FM receiver is a nice bonus and quite sensitive.
Windows Medial Player support is cool. I can play all my MP3s and stored podcasts
Next goal is to locate the English-language International news broadcasters.
So nice to listen to music, talk, news without the usual annoying Windows sounds & pauses. The blue glow from the display and tuner knob will no doubt help me find the remote in the dark.;-)
No Reciva support!!!! Ugh
I tried it in other rooms of the house, with two range expanders running and got DHCP errors, and with expanders off it gave me the dreaded weak signal message, so back it goes to Amazon. With expanders off, I get 2-3 bars throught the house.
