Re: [IRCA] A minor milestone

Nick,

You can go my continent, country, etc. If the station streams with a semi normal streaming  format, the wifi radio gets the station. But some countries, the internet is poor, so sometimes it is a hit and miss situation. Also like in Japan, most of the streaming are the FM stations, not the AM, which is a disappointment. Often the streaming is as good as the internet is there, but I find it a lot easier to use the Logitech UE Smart Radio next to the R8 to look for a //, then it is is to use the laptop. The radio takes less space too.  I find it a valuable tool. I have been trying to get a // on Toronto 640 for sometime, but so far no go. I just cannot get the signal out of the weak mud, even with KFI phased, but I keep trying.
