radioyourway unit review
 

Just wanted to post that I bought one of the Pogo RadioYourWay units
and it works pretty much as advertised with lots of functionality with
it's ports for firewire, line in, mic in, phones out, SD memory card,
cord adapter, etc.

http://www.radioyourway.com/

The only things I'd like to see improved a

1) Possible higher bitrate capture for better quality(currently the
options are 16kbps and 32 kbps, better for talk radio than music).

2) A resume function after powering down so I don't have to fast
forward to where I left off in a 30 minute or longer recording.

3) A feature to let me listen to playback while still recording a
show(so I can listen from the top while the device captures the rest
of the live broadcast).

Other than that I couldn't ask for a better product.

Thanks for the info. I have been thinking of getting one of those.

Can you set multiple timers for differant stations?

Yes, there are ten timer events total you can set with each event
being AM/FM choice of station with a daily or weekly scheduled time.
It powers itself on and off so you can set and forget.

The only couple of other things are the included earphones(or really
any earphones) you plug into the 1/8th inch jack act as the antenna,
so you have to leave them plugged in to get reception. Also the
included 32MB of internal memory at the 32kbps rate only gives you
about 2 hours of record time - I went ahead and picked up a 256MB
SanDisk Memory Card for $110 at BestBuy which pushes it out to around
17 hours recording time.

Thanks for the review!

I don't understand why the just didn't use the same mp3 encoding
bitrates that their RIPFLASH product has.

How is the MW (AM) reception/sensitivity/selectivity?

Ditto for FM, if you would be so kind.
