Revo Pico Radiostation Reviews: DAB and FM

+ Inclusion of rechargeable battery
Both internet and fm radio functions
Ease of use
Design

- Not enough pre-set station slots (only 5)
Expensive
Rudimentary display

+ amazing range of stations
convenient size for portability
rechargeable battery

- not easy to set up. would not work with my home router until I got a technician to look at it.
insufficient pre-sets.
very limited range.
no stereo music.

+ the only radio that does not have a mains lead, take it any where in the house and get what is an amazing variety and quantity of music with out having to be ast at your pc.

- non really just blatant future improvements. larger screen etc.

+ Fairly easy to set up to work with my home media server

- Buzzes in a very irritating way when the charger is plugged in - seems to be when the battery is fully charged

+ A hell of a lot of excellent functionality, very well done, all in a small neat package.

- For a radio/media player device this has EVERYTHING, except the SD memory card slot for recording/playing media that some of the other Revo PICO products do...

+ Good sound for a small unit; looks good/neat; really handy in our kitchen as a way of playing the stuff I have on itunes on my computer or ipod; was GREAT on holiday .... reasonably easy to use apart from ...

- ... I still haven't worked out how to play 'Listen again' programmes, and there's no quick way to get to the channels you want - you have to use the scroll wheel. Have to admit, I haven't used it for weeks ... perhaps that in itself is something?

+ I bought this as a gift for my partner and he has raved about it. He particularly wanted this one as it has a 'listen again' facility.

- The only negative thing I've heard him say about it is that you can't pause it.

+ Good sound, good design, excellent features

- Poor / no internet reception, out side of house

+ very nicely designed, small size, very light.
reception is good, sound quality is not too bad for that small radio. very impressed. the rechargeable battery and splash proof is also very good.

- jog dial navigation feels sometimes a little tedious, also the response for the button press can be somewhat slow, but it's OK

+ Ease of use;good display; good overall quality

+ Easy to set up
Great choice of stations
Rechargeable - key feature for portability and running cost

- More than 5 presets would be useful

+ The reception is fantastic. Easy set up to internet etc.. ecven for a technophobe like me. Very portable.

- The dial isn't always easy to manage - it's either too sensitive or not too sensitive enough. Can't work it out but as a result it tends to rush past stations so have to come back on yourself.

+ Innovation - FM, DAB, DAB+, uPnP, Internet Radio and external audio input (e.g. from MP3 player) all in one box is incredible.
Standards - works great with opensource MediaTomb uPnP player and Windows Media Player 11
Internal rechargeables and splashproof design - works in the kitchen and bathroom without having to put it in a bag !

- Searching and menu selection is a bit fiddly, but I can't imagine how to improve the user interface while keeping the same small form factor.
Sound is OK, not Hi-Fi but fine for listening to casually.

+ Great little radio, bought it for my parents and they love it
