I agree about the supplied ear buds, and discarded them immediately but Then I have never come across a good set of ear buds anyway as they never seem to have good sound output.
It works great with my budget JVC Gumy earphones though. David Griffith On 22/02/2015 16:12, Ian Macrae wrote:
You could plug up a separate speaker via the headphone jack socket Mobin. for instance I could use the Bose Mini soundlink I use with my iPhone. It’s not unusual for personal radios not to have speakers. Mind you, the ear buds supplied with the unit are dreadful. But my Sennheiser in-ears work well and give good sound.On 22 Feb 2015, at 14:41, Mobeen Iqbal <mobeeniqbal@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: hi. the only thing i don't like is the fact that this radio doesn't appear to have a loud speaker, or does it? if it doesn't, what other options are there with a built in speaker as well as the ability to listen on headphones? all the best, Mo.

Will try this and report back. As far as I can tell presets work like this. Select the DAB station you want to store by cruising up and down the dial using left and right arrows. While listening, press and long hold the mode button. This brings up the preset list. Select the preset number from the list which you want to store the station you are listening to on. Press the enter button until the screen has shown “Saved”. Without sight my guess would be that holding for between 3 and 5 seconds would be enough. Retrieving presets will obviously require you to remember which station is stored on which preset and then find it in the preset list by counting.On 22 Feb 2015, at 12:48, David Griffith <daj.griffith@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: I am getting some requests for information off list so rather than responding to lots of queries individually I will collate some of the responses I have made so far. Q. How has it been to use? I have found it very good so far and it has lived on a lanyard around my neck ever since I got it really. Q. Has there been any problems? There is one anomaly whereby putting the device into the charger turns it on and start the radio playing if it is off and seems to do the opposite if it is on, that is turn it off. You can still listen whilst charging though. My sister reports that the same thing happens with her. However the workaround for this if this is a problem for you is to put it into mp3 player mode whilst charging and the device will not play at all. Or of course just take the headphones out whilst charging which is what I tend to do. Q. What about Presets? I have not sorted out how to set the preset yet but apparently a large number can be set. I need to go back to the customer reviews on the Amazon website as apparently the preset instructions in the user guide are not that clear. However I remember people posting on the web how it can be done This is not really an issue for me at the moment as it is so very easy and straight forward to click to the stations I want easily but when I sort it out I will post some instructions. QWhat is the battery life? I am plugging it into charge every night so I have not really tested it but it seem absolutely fine so far and has not run out despite pretty heavy use QDoes it come with a USB charger, A. The Victor Reader uses a slightly smaller micro USB lead whilst this uses the slightly larger mini USB lead which is the type you for example plug into your Plextalk if you want to connect it to a PC or charge your Plextalk through the USB socket. What you will get with the Radio is a USB lead through which you can charge the radio either by putting it into an normal USB plug adapter or through your PC. I am using the plug adapter which I got with my iPhone as I normally charge my iPhone through the PC. If you do not have any USB plug adapters you might want to get one. They are pretty cheap. Q. How does it compare in size with the Plextalk Pocket? Much smaller. About a third of the size I guess Q. Have you tried the MP3 feature yet? A. Not yet. I need to get an mico SD card. I thought I had one but cannot find it. Q. What is reception like? A. Reception is probably better than the Pure PocketDavb 1500 I used to use and is comparable to the Move 2500 personal I bought last year if that any guide.
