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).

Many thanks john. I got my le.mega to day from Amazon it is great. It is fun to hear radio stations all around the world. easy to set up with the wi.fi ( when you scroll a the way down to the Caps!) the aerial is good for a support stand when set out the back . great quality sound. and so portable.

Timing is everything, it's between a short press of the select/power button which informs you there is no preset at that position OR too long a press which turns the radio off.

Well, there are loads of good DAB/DAB+ for around 80 GBP, but far less Internet enabled radios for this price. You really only have this, the stereo version IR4S, or the Pure Elan Connect and Connect+, see my review on my channel.

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?
@jeg1972
@jeg1972 27 күн бұрын
You could use it just as a Bluetooth speaker, by streaming music from your phone if that's what you mean, but if that's all your going to use it for, it's probably better just to get a dedicated Bluetooth speaker... If you don't have a wireless router in your house, the only other option is to configure a Personal Hotspot on your phone and connect to that Wifi.

To save a station to memories #3 to #20, press and hold the 3+ button, turn the volume knob to select the memory you want to save to and push it to confirm. To recall a station, press the 3+ button and select the memory you want to recall with the volume knob. Push it to confirm. Easy.

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 ?
@jeg1972

I actually never used batteries during my test, I use a powerbank. If you want to use rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride or Lithium batteries, you would have to charge them externally and then insert them into the radio.

Hello John, I hope you can help! I haven’t used the radio for sometime, as frustratingly I have been unable to use it. I continue to receive the same messages - network error/ select to retry/cannot open selected… Would be so grateful for some advise. I was previously able to use the radio. Thanks in advance 😊 I look forward to hearing from you. Kind regards,

Have you upgraded your WiFi since you last used it? Are you using 5GHz rather than 2.4GHz? I think most Internet radios only use 2.4 GHz... Failing that, you should be able to perform a factory reset on the radio.

It's not too bad, obviously it loses out on bass response, but it is clean and crisp and even if you turn up the volume to max, it doesn't really distort. I have another portable Internet radio review coming up if you're interested, just click the notification and it will tell you when it's gone live.

Você chegou analisar ou usar as pilhas nele, para ver quanto tempo aguenta, ou quantas horas ou dias em uso com as pilhas, aqui no meu radio drenou duas vezes. Então estou usando na rede elétrica por ele drenar muito rápido a carga da pilha, obrigado.

Ken, the chipset is by Frontier Smart Technologies and I think they control the database of stations.

Hi, when you've dialled to a station you wish to store in a preset greater than 2, simply press the '3+' button, turn the volume selector until you are over an empty preset location and then click the selector one time which should store the station in that location.

Hi, John Gardner I received the radio LEMEGA Radio via portable Internet IR4S, yesterday. I was unable to preset the various stations, only 1 and 2. I saw the revews on this radio and they don't talk about this problem. I looked for more revews until I found yours, about the LEMEGA IR1. I tried to faithfully follow the directions described and failed. Only 1 and 2. Is it different in my model? If you know, I would appreciate some tips for solving this problem, which I thank in advance. Mário
