I don't think the radio is supposed to start up the stream that was playing when it was turned off when it is turned back on. I know that is what a normal radio does, but I don't think this radio was designed to do that. I may be wrong. > The only way to get the radio to resume is to manually reselect the > station.

The whole issue of the radio turning on and off randomly and/or the alarm not sounding properly may be due to two bugs that look like they will be fixed in the next firmware release. See post number 70 here (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=79825&page=7) along with the two bug reports at Bugzilla (Bug 16170 and Bug 16295). The radio behaves much better if it is never turned off. -- ciarmer ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ciarmer's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=37631 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=80785 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
