Reason for purchase: Preparing for the VHF era. I will soon have a lot of electronic waste.
First experiences:
- DAB (=digital crash imminent)/Internet radio:
Operation lags behind analogue radio. Slow connection setup, especially when switching between DAB and Internet
Whole sentences are lost during interference, I prefer a short hiss. Time delay, especially with Internet reception.
- Device:
According to the data sheet, 30 stations can be stored for each reception mode. But in fact only 3 via buttons.
I was unable to achieve remote control via the CONNECT app. Probably only works via TechSat account, which I don't want.
Alarm function did not work when tested (switched on after a few minutes). The clock (internet synchronised) has reset itself to 00:00 several times
-Conclusion:
OK for the price to gain experience of what to look out for when buying other devices, nothing more.
To replace my REVOX tuner, I will visit a specialist shop that can demonstrate the equipment to me.

I am replacing my (already slightly faulty) FM device with this radio. I only use Internet radio via WLAN as the DAB+ signal is too weak for me - especially indoors. However, this is not a fault of the device.
If you want, there is also a bit of nostalgia: for technical reasons, booting up and connecting to WLAN takes a little time - just like with an old tube radio...

All in all, I am satisfied with the device. Only the sound could be better and it would be nice if the brightness of the display could be adjusted in more than 3 levels (bright, medium, off).
