Can't seem to sleep here (while admittedly unrelated to the Radio alarm - haha), so I'm taking a rare gander at the forum... Honestly, if your wife is getting upset and you risk her wrath every time the alarm does something obnoxious then my advice is to stop using the Radio alarm and start relying exclusively on another alarm device. I don't advise this glibly... The Radio is a fine streaming device, but it is not an adequate or particularly reliable alarm clock (with the Logitech provided code base). Either trust me on this or do some forum searching for the historical discussions regarding alarms that I've engaged in with Logitech development. It will not get better with firmware updates in reality, as the Radio alarm architecture is not conducive to stability. Even if a future firmware version appears to 'get it right', you will always run the genuine risk of a future firmware update regression that causes annoying alarm behavior anew. In your particular case, since you don't care about streaming music or internet radio as the alarm audio source, there is one additional option... you could modify the code to use a truly local (Radio resident) audio sample of your choice and remove the server entirely from the equation. Then the alarm behavior would be maximally stable for your purposes. You would, however, be stuck in having to reapply the code changes after every Radio firmware update pushed down from Logitech if you did this... Frankly, if your domestic situation is at any risk then you'll do well to posthaste abandon the notion that the Radio provided alarm functionality will never again stir your other half with a jolt. Cut your losses and enjoy the Radio for its streaming while you fall back to another alarm device to keep the peace in the bedroom...
