I have 4 SB Radios and tried using those Vonets bridges with each one of them. Although the programming can take a bit to figure out as you mentioned, I eventually figured it out and was very excited to have my radios working again. However, all but one of the devices quit working within about 3-30 days. I even returned several of them as defective and had them replaced and the replacements eventually quit working as well too (that is all but the one that has somehow continued to keep working... ) I suspect that the radio pulls just a little too much voltage and causes them to wear out prematurely. Anyway, I just wanted to share my experience with them. I had high hopes as they are relatively inexpensive, but they ultimately didn't work out for me. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RichardDavies's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=35024 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=109953 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
