Great radio, still a disappointment

Sangean WFR-28 Internet Radio (MP3 playback) (Electronics)

Customer Review

I am for 1 year and 3 months owner of this good radios. What is positive about this part. Mobility, thanks to the battery or battery operation. It can also be operated using the supplied AC adapter. FM reception is possible, but no pleasure. For stations whose reception there is nothing to complain about, weaker stations you will soon disconnecting. I have the comparison with two older Sangean Radios, both FM, with excellent far and wide receiver. Since the WFR is 28 not to have a go at the outset. Stark is the receiver with DAB + and Wi-Fi reception. Who wants to use his device much mobile is no way around batteries. Normal alkaline mono batteries are in the long run quite expensive. Mono batteries come at a price, but can be loaded well a thousand times. Battery replacement is very annoying, because the batteries are extremely tight in the holder. For those who prefer battery operation, should pay attention only equally strong cells to use. Let you measure four D-size batteries with a professional in the same capacity. Only so have your continued enjoyment of the expensive batteries. A pack of four batteries is no guarantee that all have the same capacity. I have found differences of up to 70%, by the way in brand batteries. With Panasonic, I have had good experiences, nevertheless leave earlier measure. I use my mobile and WFR 28 only has to reload every 2 weeks at 3 hours per day operation. What I do not like that. The radio can also thousands of stations, received thanks to the Internet. But there are only 5 presets per reception mode. (FM, DAB + and Internet). That is far too little. It is also not unheard of that all DAB stations were suddenly erased. If at low volume (eg Level 6) power is turned off can experience by resounds maximum volume the next day a surprise. That's not exactly quiet. This happens to me every other day. The latest firmware is installed, which is by the way a half years old. Who in audio format Ogg Vorbis wants his favorite stations listen, tough luck, this Sangean radio can not. This is an absolute shortage. There are a lot of channels, including German, which only send in Ogg Vorbis. Who turns these Sangean, needs patience. It takes up to 20 seconds until you hear a station. Sometimes you hear nothing, then it must be manually switched to the next station and immediately turn back, then you go. Requests the services are useless. Either you do not get, or a completely meaningless answer. I would buy this unit again, I give 2 points.

Not bad. 65 Rank: 4/5
