Re: A Near Perfect Tabletop Radio?
Thanks for the tip. I downloaded the App and yep, works absolutely fine with IOS devices, I'm sure there's an Android version around so will have a look at that a little later. There are some nice features about Undok including the "Share" button which allows you to share the current station or track you're listening to with others on Facebook, Twitter, Message and eMail. Like the way one can perform a software update to the radio. Would like to see more settings in the settings option, the information about Internet connection is shown there so one would think one could change that? Net yet at any rate. Nice to see the sleep timer accessible but as yet no alarm. I only know of a few radios where the alarm clock is accessible, the Logitech Squeezebox and Ultimate ears radio along with the Denon Cocoon Home. ** Those with negative attitudes are a problem, those with positive outlooks are the solution. > On 11 Apr 2016, at 9:08 PM, Richard Bartholomew > <richard_bartholo...@blueyonder.co.uk> wrote: > > Yes, having just looked again, I, too, can’t get the Sangean app on my iPhone > to see my radio.

Re: A Near Perfect Tabletop Radio?
Now that’s interesting. The App you mentioned works on the Ruark radios too so Sangean, Ruark and Roberts must use the same Silicon Frontier chip set. I’m not at all surprised about the Roberts, Roberts radios are made by Sangean. > On 11 Apr 2016, at 9:08 PM, Richard Bartholomew > <richard_bartholo...@blueyonder.co.uk> wrote: > > Yes, having just looked again, I, too, can’t get the Sangean app on my iPhone > to see my radio.

Re: A Near Perfect Tabletop Radio?
Yes, having just looked again, I, too, can’t get the Sangean app on my iPhone to see my radio. However, having recently bought a Roberts radio, I now use an app called undok which sees both the Roberts and Sangean and has the additional advantage over the Sangean app (when it did used to work!) that it allows searching for internet radio stations. In theory, this was available on the iSangean app but never actually worked for me as it wouldn’t allow entry into the edit field either with or without VoiceOver running!

Re: A Near Perfect Tabletop Radio?
Oh and another thing about recording before I forget. Starting and stopping recording couldn't be easier, just select the source you wish to record from and press the record button, recording starts and can be stopped by pressing the Record button again, tracks can be played using the Music player option of the device or on a computer, the choice is yours.

Re: A Near Perfect Tabletop Radio?
Cost in U.S. dollars is around $450 Size? Well its about the size of all the other Snagean Tabletops I've seen, the display in the middle of the two speakers and the slot loading CD tray above all that on the front. The aerial is removable meaning that the radio can be attached to an outdoor FM/DAB aerial if you have such an installation, the radio has a F connector which the telescopic aerial attaches to but to get to this you have to remove a small screwed on cover which covers the socket. No idea why Sangean did things this way but there we are. As for the App not owrking on my IOS devices? Well I'm not sure what's going on there, just won't find any of the radio sets I have which are compatible with it and I've not had this issue before though there was a good 18 or so months when I was without an IOS device and I do know that during that time the iSangean remote App was updated a few times so perhaps that's something to do with it. As I say, the Android iSangean App works perfectly as it should. regarding recording? You can record from most of the sources this radio handles, only one you can't record from is your iPod in the dock. You can record Internet Radio, FM, DAB and from CD, default bit rate for MP3 recordings is 128K. This radio does not as far as I know support time shifting for DAB+ radio.
