Re: [SlimDevices: Radio] alarm is not working reliable

I've been somewhat frustrated with the Radio's alarm reliability (or rather, lack thereof). In about 2 weeks of use, I'd say the alarm has NOT gone off correctly about 3 or 4 times out of about 10 days. It looks like the radio "thinks" it's playing the alarm sound correctly - it's displaying the

Too bad they didn't design it to take standard NiMH batteries (and not recharge them) as well as it's own pack which it would of course recharge. I don't know how long it will last on the 10 NiMHs but at least there would be a fallback in situations where no pack is available or if it's dead, etc.
