WTM 6/20/2011 8:09:05 PM Tech Level: 5/5 Ownership: 5/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 4/5 Pros: Hi-fi sound, remote control; high quality construction; good podcast searching; local internet radio, Cons: Built-in clock slow (loses five minutes/month); cannot pause or skip around podcasts; no network/system diagnostics (needed WireShark to diagnose initial configuration issues); no troubleshooting information or FAQ on manufacturer's website. No technical support. Did you find this review helpful? Thanks for the valuable feedback you provided!
idbguy 5/9/2009 1:08:52 AM Tech Level: 4/5 Ownership: 2/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Great Product! Pros: This is a wonderful product! I had been looking for something to use with my home stereo system that would allow me to listen to a larger variety of radio stations than available locally without having my computer turned on all the time. With a quick skim of the user guide, I was able to hook up through my wireless network easily (wired network connection also available) and immediately could start listening to radio stations (1000s) from around world via the internet, e.g. USA, Germany, Estonia, Greece, South America, etc. You can set up your favorites through a website and they become immediately available on your radio. Has a timer option and alarm/snooze options both of which I've already tried out. FM receiver is built-in too, but I'm sure I'll be using primarily the internet radio on a daily basis. The Moody Station out of Spokane and Deutsche-welle are my favorites so far. I was worried a bit about buffering problems, but no issues with that so far. Highly recommend it! Cons: It does seem to be on all the time. It displays a clock when powered down (standby). It wasn't intuitive how to use the tool for entering the wireless network name, but like I said above, skimming the user guide cleared that up right away. I wish the display was a little wider, but for those long station titles, it does scroll through the whole width of the station title when it is selected - needed for those stations that are similar in name except for what is appended to the end (e.g. language). Other Thoughts: Wouldn't it be nice if Sangean could add an HD Radio receiver to this for the local stations? Sound quality can vary a bit from station to station for the internet radio part, but I find it fully acceptable. Would consider buying as a gift for family and friends.

JimmySee 5/3/2009 7:01:30 AM Tech Level: 2/5 Ownership: 3/5 Verified Owner	Rating: 5/5Totally Amazing and Enchanting Pros: Easy hook-up; millions of stations at your beck and call; great fidelity - current favorite: Radio Nacional, samba and Brazilian jazz from Brasilia! Cons: Not easy enough to store favorites Other Thoughts: We have a second home in a radio wasteland area. This unit ends my listening complaints forever. 1 out of 1 people found this review helpful.
