Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Release date for Squeezebox Radio? Europe?
Thanks Steve, but presumably that's only gone to people who have pre-ordered from the US sites? In the UK, we can't even pre-order from the Logitech site. When we try we just get a box to register our interest in the Radio. Amazon UK will let us pre-order, but they have no stock and no idea when they will. Neither site indicates that the red version exists or that there will be a battery pack. The same is true in several other European Logitech online stores. Hence this thread asking when it'll get this side of the water. :o) Regards, John -- testmatch testmatch's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=30954 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=68123 ___ Radio mailing list Radio@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
[SlimDevices: Radio] Red Radio - appearance and availability
Hi, Can anyone with a red radio comment on how it compares to the Logitech black products (e.g. Boom) when it comes to showing the dust and fingerprints? If the red one appears in the Logitech UK store this month I think I want to get that as I suspect it should look neater and more cheerful. The black of the Boom does seem look grubby easily (I sound like my mother here!). I can only find one picture of the red before the US site bounces me out to select a retailer. Or is the red one intended to be a US-only product? Also, when will the battery be available please? I really want to keep the radio in the bathroom, so the battery operation (given the building regulations in the UK) is crucial.

Thanks for your help. It's good to know the red exists - it seems to be the one I want! I hope there's some information about this on the UK site soon. I fear a $40 battery will translate to £40 though - as it does for most of the accessories available over here. The fact that the UK site mentions bathroom operation encourages me slightly. However the lack of anything about the battery or red colour, and the mentions of Rhapsody and Pandora (which we can't use) and a "color" display, make me fear that the site hasn't been properly localised and is just a slightly modified copy and paste from the US site. Despite registering my interest as soon as the Radio and Touch appeared on the site, I've had no information apart from a confirmation email. Hopefully things will improve after tomorrow when they expect to get their new email system working!

Well it hasn't appeared on the Logitech UK store, and ordering the battery still produces the error others have reported. At the end of last week I decided to order a black radio with the 20% discount code that expired on Saturday. It's on the way to me from Utrecht. Having spent the weekend in Brussels, it has now arrived in England and should be with me tomorrow. Thanks for all the comments - I'd have liked the red one, but not enough to forgo the £30 discount!

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Is the RED radio a "limited Edition"?
Hi, I'm not Logitech, but they have said several times here that it is indeed "limited" in the senses that they won't be making as many red as black, and to expect to have to search for them. That's confirmed by the fact that they are only in their US online store - which will not sell to people in Europe or many other places outside the US. Those of us in other countries have to search for the few dealers advertising them. So far we've found one in the Netherlands with stock, and one in the UK advertising pre-orders.

[SlimDevices: Radio] Radio won't connect to channel 13
Hi, My radio has just come, and I immediately have a problem with the wireless connection. I run my wireless network on channel 13 as that's pretty clear from interference caused by the neighbours. However my radio won't see channel 13, and I can't find a way to configure it to use "Europe" as the wireless location. That's always been possible with my Duet, SB2, SB3 and Boom. The radio lets me set the language and timezone, but appears not to use European wireless channels. Have I missed a menu entry somewhere? It didn't ask me about this when going through the initial setup, and it's going to be a real pain if I can't run it in a reasonably clear part of the spectrum here. Or have I got a US-only model that I should return for replacement? I'll contact Logitech UK in the hope they can sort it, but wondered if anyone else here has seen this and (most importantly) been able to resolve it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] Radio won't connect to channel 13
Answering my own question here, but I've just talked to a very helpful Logitech lady who got me to do a factory reset and stayed on the line while I reset my access point and entered all the details into the radio again. The result is that I'm now up and running on channel 13. I don't know how my radio came to be "stuck" in a channel 1-11 mode, but it's fine now.

jrichardson;484325 Wrote: > http://www.logitechsqueezebox.com/products/squeezebox-radio.html#tab3 I hope it is coming, James, but as far as I can see it's disappeared from all Logitech sites apart from the US one - and of course we can only order from our own national site. Mind you, when there was a page for it on the UK site, it gave an error when we tried to pre-order, and the "find a local dealer" button claimed that a UK postcode wasn't a valid zipcode! It's hard to have any confidence in any of the Logitech sites at the moment. It seems that orders get through despite the online shops - rather than because of them! I'm hoping the battery re-appears very soon, as I really want that. I'm also hoping that my pre-order for the Touch doesn't get cancelled as I put it through before the 20% discount code expired at the end of last month. The current dire state of Logitech's online shops doesn't give me much hope though!

I get that behaviour when I set my wireless access point to channel 13 to take advantage of a gap the neighbours aren't occupying with their networks. Sometimes it stays connected for days, but then simply won't see the network. Other times it drops off the network after a few minutes. However if I change to a different wireless channel (I'm currently on channel 3) it's fine. How does that compare with your experience? Are your radio's problems also dependent on the wireless channel?

I'm in the UK and received it this morning. It identifies itself as M/N:X-1A3, PID:WD843XM, P/N:815-39 - exactly the same as my Boom remote - and will only adjust the volume by one or two increments per press. That makes muting it from the remote (e.g. while in the shower) a somewhat lengthy process! Should we return the remote for replacement by the correct one? Or will the bug be re-opened and fixed? I certainly hope we don't have to return the complete pack with battery, having waited five months to be able to buy it!

Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] WiFi not working on Channels 12-14
Hi, There's a couple of threads here with some information on this as well. I talked to myself in http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=70888 and forgot to come back with the extra information that it stopped connecting after three days and won't go back. I did subsequently hijack http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=74406 though. So my experience (while nowhere near as thorough as yours) is the same. The Radio can be coaxed into connecting to channel 13, but after a few days simply stops seeing the network. Consequently I have to avoid 13 in my regular game of wi-fi channel battleships with the neighbours.
