Hi Patrick,

I've not had any trouble with my Grace Digital unit other than some
chronically slow-to-connect sites which act the same when I try to stream
them on my PC or mobile phone; but I see what you mean by a number of poor
reviews and comments.

Craig's comments reminded me that I too have read good things about
Logitech's unit. Perhaps that's the one to shoot for.

I'm with Colin when it comes to choosing a "regular" radio for any
important communications. I use the Internet radio or other streaming
source just for entertainment. Besides, what DXing fun is there with
streamed stations?  <g>

73,
