Hi,
You can also set alarms using the Alexa or Google apps, so voice recognition is
not essential.
All the best
Steve

I think Jackie’s suggestion is a good one. You can set as many alarms as you
want and you can choose any station as your alarm sound. Any Echo model would
do what you want. A Google equivalent might be equally as good.

I love Alexa, but I wouldn't recommend it as a radio. Nothing can replace the
good old browsing option and abbility to set presets for favourite
radiostations.
Also, Alexa never guesses which station on TuneIn I want to listen to as not
all of them are English, it is frustrating, because I know it could do it, but
it doesn't understand me!

Hi John
You might not want this recommendation, but I think Alexa is as good
as anything out there. You can choose the alarm sound, different
alarm times, and you can have her in a variety of flavours now such as
Echo, Echo Dot, GGMM speaker, multiroom speaker system like Sonos, and
you get a better radio quality than DAB can ever offer.
Kind regards,
Jackie Brown

Subject: [access-uk] Bedside Radio
Hello list,
My bedside radio has just about given up after quite a few years. It
was a Pure Sonus radio and I was pleased with its performance.
I am now looking for a replacement.
At one time there was a Pure Tempus-1 which additionally had an
element of TTS built in. Unhappily Pure have stopped marketing these radios.
Could I please have some recommendations for a replacement?
My criteria are:
Bedside size, I.E. not a Hi-Fi component.
DAB facility.
At least two alarms, I.E. one for weekdays and one for weekends.
Snooze capability.
TTS would be a sought after bonus.
Thank you.
Regards, John.
