I was swayed by the price about a year ago, but I certainly wasn't disappointed by their performance.

You can delete stored stations if you use the UNDOK app.

I can't figure out the volume. Trying to change it changes the menu!

Can the presets be scanned to play or do I have to choose from the list? And THANK YOU for all the info you provide!! VERY helpful and useful!!

Hey John, Why don't you update your weather station to a Pi Pico W board and add a few new things to it. The panel should be able to handle the power for it and a 6Volt battery.

So if I don't have internet in my house but have it on my phone through my phone company, I am guessing that I will not receive a signal on this unless I put it in Bluetooth mode from my phone, would that be correct? So I would have to run my phone battery in order to get a signal?

Super vidéo Merci

These were sold in the USA too and I was a big fan of it… I am pretty sure it was a USA version of the magazine. One of the .net issues in the 1990s had an article on unique computer desks… they had photos… one was a 1950s refrigerator converted to being a computer desk. I REALLY want to find that article again

I just want to cancel a preset I set by mistake..

Difference is sleep timer on the Lemega.

Cheers lad

Thank you for this excellent review John. Could you give me the details of the power bank used please? I've never had a power bank before and I would like to purchase one, many thanks. Geoff.

Thank you for this review John, I have subscribed. Geoff.

How do you turn off radio?

I own one of these. I purchased it in 1984, and a few minor adjustments (after moving), and a new cartridge here and there, and it still runs beautifully.

Jon, I bought a used one from Amazon and it was in mint condition , the USB worked but guess what ...there was NO sound coming out of the bass speaker underneath ...It's going right back. Any idea why it didn't work ?

Thanks for pointing me to this video after I commented on the IR1 test, John. Quite an interesting comparison you've made here. I regret that you haven't compared the sound from both radios, though. I have both of these and unlike you, I kind of prefer the Lemega. Why? it sounds better to my ageing ears. More treble. I find the Pure rather muffled. Apart from this, they're really similar but it turns out that I find the Lemega much more elegant too (I have the faux bois case / cream front panel varient) than the Pure (I have the white variant). Unless I've missed something, you don't tell why you think the Pure is thicker, do you? As for the updates, my Pure came with the V4.5.13 f/w, no update since then. It's still newer than the V4.1.8 on the Lemega indeed. Overall, I like these two radios a lot, but I have the same minor gripes with both of them: - no way to completely turn them off when on external power - FM stations are stored only with their frequencies, not the RDS names - only one time sync source can be active, e.g. no way to select network primary, DAB second which would come handy when you move the radio around BTW no issue on FM reception on either radio, but I live in a place that has good coverage. However they do better than my Amazon Basics branded FM/DAB+ radio.

Where can I buy one of these and how can I know if it is the model which has a working USB port ?

will the .anttena come off so you can add a external one thank you

Pricing is funny sometimes. I have this one and the Pure Elan Connect (single speaker version) and I paid 15 euros less for the Elan than for the Lemega. I like the latter more, though. Wait... the Elan Connect was bought almost one year ago and I notice that its price on Amazon has raised dramatically now.

Thanks for this good review. I've had this radio for a few days and I really like it so far. I don't have the same experience as yours in FM and DAB+, I find mine as sensitive as my Xhdata receiver in FM and no dropouts at all in DAB+ unlike with my Amazon brand kitchen radio. I also have the Pure Elan connect (single speaker version) and although the two radios are quite similar, I really think that the Lemega has a better speaker and a more pleasant design (I have the model with faux bois case).

I bought this radio recently but I can't save the stations in 20 preset mode.

Hi John, I have 3 of these, 2 of which are connected to my TV soundbars, no more listening to annoying adverts, at the press of button I've got my favourite internet music.

Appreciate your stuff. Came across your channel while searching for affordable internet radios. Thanks from Goa.

Interesting review.Whats the best DAB/Internet radio for around £80 that you have found, please?

Any suggestions if a few keys don’t work?

Anybody else here having issues connecting theirs to the Wifi? Mine connects then disconnects when in Standby mode.

Thank you so much, I own the same keyboard and can't wait to refurbish it this weekend as inspired by your video!

The interface looks extremely similar to the Roberts iStream 3. Are all internet radios using the same chip, seems to be the Frontier Venice module?

@John Gardner: Thanks for the content! Is it possible to add a custom station (streaming) to these radios if it is not included by default?

Good Job.

Thank's ,you save my life !!!

I think the timeout feature will make the screen go black until I touch a button (say I want to get some brief light, at night) it'll be on the bed side table. You say good value at thi price point, and I agree (would like to spend more and get a better radio) last one had a snooze handle (I never used it for that) but touching it gave 7 seconds of light which was perfect

Am ajuns de căcat, sa fabricam produsele occidentale în China comunista, ce slugarnicie

Would you say it's worth the cost and hassle of replacing a tonearm on one of these?

Thank you John but I m looking for internet Radio with FM and blue tooth, As i saw its lacking fm reciever, yet in many place of the word you are missing OTA stations or internet so its handy to have both...

Thank you so much for this excellent report. Giorgio

hello, for this radio and in all radio of this type, i see that you read the mp3 musics one by one. it is not possible to gather them in folders and read an entire folder? if yes how to do, because the read button is the same as the enter folder button. thx

hello, at this part of the video kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKGaaJyZe7R_gac you show a list of mp3, my question is, is it possible to organize them with folders/subfolders or we can only read them one by one as you show in the video? thanks

Which website sold this internet radio. And what is price.

What price for this radio sir.

Your review is very interesting! I am interested in purchasing this radio receiver. What internet service do you use to "tune in" to streaming stations (such as TuneIn, SkyTune, etc.)? Can stations be added manually knowing their URL? Thank you so much.

Hello...can the rechargeable batteries you fitted be recharged when in the radio ? Or do they have to be recharged via a separate charging base ?

Had one for a year now and it seemed too complicated. 30 mins watching your video and I've got it connected to wifi, the app and can see its true potential. Thanks for the walkthrough.

Do not believe this nonsense about Leavers being lied to/Russian bots/Cambridge Analytica/ it's silly, idiotic nonsense. The game changer was the 1992 Maastricht Treaty (when you were about 20) which converted free trade into political and federal union with Europe. Effectively the genie was out of the bottle as PM Major now pushed the new line of ''ever closer union''. We never agreed to this in 1975 and note, we never actually voted to JOIN the EU. Like Heath, Major pushed it through by deceit. Such a seismic shift as he played fast and loose with the constitution plus the ERM/Black Wednesday debacle which explains the core reason for the Conservatives GE annihilation in 1997. Major lost the dressing room and lost Middle England,...he stank the room out and it was entirely the fault of the left-liberal Liberal Democrat wing of the Tory party.

Firstly John, I would strongly direct you to an excellent 4-part series about the entire EEC/EU history made by the BBC in 1996...it's called...''The Poisoned Chalice'' on You Tube, especially the first two episodes. Many people never realised that the '75 vote was to ENDORSE the decision to go in....but this had already occurred via Parliament during 1971/2 when PM Ted Heath had to rely on opposition votes to get it into law. You will see in those first two episodes all sorts of trickery and chicanery to drive it through,...described by Tony Benn as ''a coup d'etat''.

As at 15/01/24,...your upload has only 187 views John! It really does deserve many more, a fascinating discussion. I'm now 66 so in my case, I was too young by 5 months to have been eligible to vote in 1975. I do not remember the debate at all at the time but of course, I have been much more informed down the years and I voted in 2016. Those pamphlets made for fascinating reading and in my opinion, the NO points then as now turned out to be very true and accurate. I'll make a few short. digestible points......as follows...........
