Actually, on further testing, I have observed that Preset 6 *does* work for Slacker and Internet, but without a confirming beep (thought the beeps are present for AM and FM Preset 6, as well as all of the *other* Internet and Slacker presets). I think this almost has to be a firmware error and will contact Audiovox. Perhaps it has something to do with Preset 6 being part of the demo on/off routine.

If you download the manual and check pg. 20 and 21 it says station presets 1-6 can be used to store Slacker or internet radio stations and you can also store up to 6 stations in each Genre! If preset 6 doesn't work it's probably broke.I sent mine back before trying the presets but I did notice that trying to store the current station as a Favorite as described on pg. 21 did nothing.

The latest firmware fixes the #6 beep. Unfortunately, now the AM presets no longer play after you store them.

You're right! I noticed this as well and notified RCA/Audiovox after the update and they promised to check the firmware. It *is* an issue that they need to address it. The AM radio (which actually is a good receiver as portables go) will appear broken to many if they do not! BTW, despite these little glitches, this is still a killer product IMO.

Check your manual. There is a setting for the tuning steps to be set. In some parts of the world the AM Broadcast band steps are 10 KHZ apart and other areas are 9 Khz. If you arein the USA it should be set for 10 Khz. There is also a filter setting that you might want to widen for better sounding AM. Does this help?

Yes, just 5 memory presets. We agree with you and we will eventually come out with a similar radio with more presets. We understand the radio market has been jumbled in recent years which makes more presets a requirement. Most people purchase it for the reception, audio and other features.

Dave here- I am not sure- it seems likely- I still can't get all the stations that I like in one setting. I must still dial in 2 sets . I'm referring to preset stations. This sure works better than the antenna AM that comes with the Receiver.

All presets are maintained. It is the best internet radio I have owned and I have owned 3 others. This one allows you to find - pretty accurately - stations other than the preloaded ones. The buffer seems larger than others as well. This is an excellent buy if you like listening to talk radio as much as I do.

Interesting. I've been considering pre-ordering the 1390T. The amazon description says it does have multi-point routing, maybe it is wrong. With the FM transmitter on the 765T, do you have to use the FM transmitter, and does this mean you have to tune your radio to a dead FM channel while driving? Interesting point you make, because the prices are very similar on Amazon.

It works very well- you have access to 15,000 radio stations- AM/FM - works all the same VIA your Internet WiFI - signal. My Grace radio hasall the Bells and Whisles - u can set timer to turn off after an hour or so- when you go to sleep. Jim

I have had my Kaito for several years. The manual is difficult to understand but the actual product has been great for me. As far as the firmware goes I recall seeing that as well at some point in time but there wasn't a version issued that I know about. I don't think there was any need for one. I noticed that you mentioned in your previous review about AM reception being very poor. I have don't use the AM or the shortwave band (very much) but wonder if the optional external antenna would help. Please don't give up too soon. Believe it or not it has a lot of potential.

There are two FM channels, one MW(mid wave) and 8 shortwave channels. Nothing has been designated as AM. In Lake Tahoe, CA mountains, in Kings Beach, I only get FM channels. No AM or short wave channels. This was not the case when I had a short wave radio from Radio Shack. It had excellent BBC reception. With this DEGEN, absolutely nothing. I don't think their short wave channels are properly tuned. Waste of money and time! Don't buy it!

I do not recall if this radio was able to be programmed for preset stations. See ratings for this radio!

No presets. I have had this same radio for at least 15 years. I just got my second radio 2months ago. t me it is well worth the money . also, I wear a hearing aid and it works beautifully. I would highly recommend this radio. it is so convenient because everything is built together....you do not have to carry a disk, that means you have so etching else to keep up with while you are walking, running, cleaning house. with this you just put it on your Heaney, turn it on and go. I hope this answers your concern

I have exactly the same problem with my radio, which basically renders it USELESS in my area. They should warn customers before hand that this is the situation. Send it back for a refund if you can.

Yes. Mine is incredibly finicky. The FM is so sensitive that it takes me a few min to tune stations. The AM is rock solid. I do think it needs to be fixed though, it shouldn't be that hard to tune in a station like the one I'm trying to get. I have a Sangean digital radio and it gets everything just fine.

I'm not sure about the preset... but your able to put them all on the same channels. I bought two... My friends have older ones. We put them all on the same channels and use them on Cruises. They worked really well.

I'm thinking hitting the repeat button isn't all that complicated, so my next thought is, do you have the auto-turnoff setting on? If your CD is about an hour long, and you have an auto-turnoff set for 60 minutes, it would seem like it's not repeating even though you have repeat on. I know some people have complained that the radio turns off automatically after a couple hours.. Turned out it was that setting. Go into the options menu and see what you can find! Let us know.

I never turn on FM radio. I sent one mp3 to my friend. I only download some songs from Chinese website. I even don't know there is FM radio with the mp3.
